1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of anxiety, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with congenital microtia after ear recontruction surgery and identify influencing factors of HRQoL. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 152 patients with congenital microtia (aged 8-18 years) who underwent ear reconstruction at a tertiary hospital in Shanghai from April 2023 to September 2024. The assessment tools, including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Version 4.0 Generic Core Scales, were used to assess symptoms of anxiety, symptoms of depression and HRQoL within 24 hours postoperatively. Multiple linear regression was performed to explore the factors affecting HRQoL. Results: Postoperatively, 21.7% of patients with congenital microtia reported symptoms of anxiety, and 17.8% reported symptoms of depression. Patients with congenital microtia have significantly lower HRQoL scores than the healthy norm group. Anxiety and depression showed moderate negative correlations with HRQoL score (r = -0.433 and -0.486, respectively, Conclusion: Patients with congenital microtia experience significant psychological distress and reduced quality of life after ear reconstruction surgery, with anxiety, depression, pain, and socio-demographic factors playing critical roles. These findings underscore the necessity of an integrated care model that incorporates psychological evaluation, pain management, and personalized support to improve mental health and quality of life in these patients.
