Stress response, complications, and postoperative recovery in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and comorbid anxiety/depression undergoing ultrasound-guided intervention.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common and frequently encountered malignancy in clinical practice. Patients who lack understanding of the disease and surgical treatment are prone to fear, depression, and other negative emotions, which further aggravate psychological stress. As such, less stimulating and minimally invasive surgical modalities, such as ultrasound-guided interventions, should be adopted to alleviate or eliminate negative perioperative psychological states, which can be evaluated using validated tools such as the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D).
aimTo investigate the impact of ultrasound-guided surgery on stress, complications, and recovery in patients with HCC and comorbid anxiety/depression.
methodsNinety patients with primary small HCC and comorbid anxiety/depression were randomly divided into 2 groups according to treatment (
resultsThere were no significant differences in preoperative HAM-A and HAM-D scores between the 2 groups (
conclusionUltrasound-guided intervention for patients with primary small HCC and anxiety/depression effectively improves negative emotional states, reduce stress responses, decreases postoperative complications, promotes recovery, and enhances quality of life.
