Investigation of depressive symptoms after thyroid cancer surgery: Logistic regression analysis and adjustment strategy.
Article in World journal of psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPost-thyroidectomy patients frequently experience depressive symptoms triggered by surgical trauma, fluctuating thyroid hormone levels, and the psychological burden of long-term surveillance; however, large-scale multivariable-adjusted risk-factor data remain scarce.
aimTo determine the prevalence and predictors of postoperative depression, and propose tailored mitigation strategies.
methodsWe enrolled 108 consecutive patients who underwent thyroidectomies at The First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University between January 2023 and January 2025. Depression was assessed using the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), while coping styles and social support were evaluated using the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire and Perceived Social Support Scale. Logistic regression was used to identify independent risk and protective factors.
resultsThe mean SDS score was 52.58 ± 10.20; 62 patients (57.4%) met the criteria for depression (mild 32.4%, moderate 15.7%, severe 9.3%). Univariate analyses revealed higher depression rates among patients aged ≥ 60 years, those with ≤ high-school education, monthly family income < 3000 yuan,
conclusionDepression is common after thyroidectomy, and is driven by socioeconomic, treatment-related, and psychosocial factors. Targeted interventions that address coping skills and bolster social support should be integrated into postoperative care.
