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

objectivesKallmann syndrome (KS) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and reduced or absent olfactory function. In addition to gonadal dysgenesis and structural abnormalities, KS patients may present with extensive psychosocial dysfunction and behavioral changes. This study aims to evaluate the effects of self-stigma, impulsivity, and insomnia on anxiety and depression in KS patients and to explore the interrelationships among these factors.

methodsA total of 206 patients with confirmed KS were recruited from the Xiangya Hospital and Henan Provincial People's Hospital. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors associated with anxiety and depression, and a serial multiple-mediator model was applied to characterize pathway effects.

resultsThe cohort of KS patients demonstrated substantial psychological and social burden, including self-stigma, impulsivity, insomnia, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and overall social isolation tendencies. Logistic regression analysis indicated that self-stigma (

conclusionsThis study preliminarily identified the major modifiable factors associated with anxiety and depression in KS patients, including self-stigma, loneliness, and insomnia. Impulsivity and insomnia demonstrated significant serial mediation effects linking self-stigma to affective outcomes. Multidimensional intervention strategies targeting stigma reduction, impulsivity regulation, and sleep-quality improvement may help alleviate anxiety-depression symptoms and ultimately improve overall quality of life in patients with KS.
