Identification of risk factors and development of predictive models for chronic postsurgical pain after modified radical mastectomy.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate the risk factors for chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) following modified radical mastectomy (MRM) for breast cancer and to establish a clinical prediction model.
methodsA prospective cohort study was conducted, enrolling patients who underwent MRM for breast cancer. Comprehensive data were systematically collected at three time points: preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. Follow-up assessments were performed at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Separate prediction models were constructed for CPSP at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. A comprehensive clinical prediction model was developed through a systematic approach.
resultsA total of 235 patients were enrolled in this study. Postoperative insomnia and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels were independent risk factors for CPSP at both 3 and 6-month postoperatively, while a higher body mass index (BMI) was a protective factor for CPSP at 3-month postoperatively. The AUC values of the model at 3 and 6-month postoperatively were 0.767 (0.706-0.829) and 0.733 (0.666-0.799), respectively. Model performance and stability were further confirmed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, decision curve analysis (DCA), calibration curves, and a nomogram, indicating good discrimination and clinical applicability.
conclusionPostoperative insomnia and FSH levels are independent risk factors for CPSP at 3 and 6-month postoperatively, and a higher BMI is a protective factor for CPSP at 3-month postoperatively. Early identification and management of postoperative insomnia, as well as preoperative screening of FSH levels, may help reduce the risk of CPSP.
