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
backgroundDigestive tract subepithelial lesions (SELs) are relatively common, and early diagnosis and treatment are critical for improving patient quality of life and prognosis. However, diagnostic uncertainty often leads to negative psychological effects, including anxiety and depression.
aimTo investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms and identify associated factors among patients with digestive tract SELs.
methodsThis retrospective study included 296 consecutive patients diagnosed with digestive tract SELs at the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College Endoscopy Center between October 2024 and April 2025. Demographic and clinical data were collected through standardized questionnaires. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and the Self-Rating Depression Scale, respectively, while sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Participants were classified into anxiety
resultsAnxiety symptoms were observed in 35.8% of cases (mean Self-Rating Anxiety Scale score: 46.56 ± 9.13) and depressive symptoms in 33.1% (mean Self-Rating Depression scale score: 48.64 ± 8.30). Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores were positively correlated with both anxiety and depression (
conclusionPatients with digestive tract SELs are at increased risk for anxiety and depression, with poor sleep strongly linked to worsening psychological symptoms. Early diagnostic assessment with EUS appears to serve a protective role against the onset of these psychological disorders.
