Prevalence and determinants of anxiety in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Article in BJPsych open, 2026. 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
backgroundClinically relevant anxiety can be detected in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but its prevalence and determinants have not yet been fully assessed.
aimsThis study aimed at assessing the prevalence and clinical underpinnings of anxiety in ALS.
methodNon-demented ALS patients (
resultsSTAI-Y1 and -Y2 scores above cut-off were detected in 18.2 and 13.9% of patients, respectively - with proportions being higher in cases versus controls (
conclusionsClinically significant levels of state- and trait-anxiety occur in ∼18 and ∼14% of non-demented ALS patients, respectively, mostly driven by cognitive and affective facets of depression, and are independent of motor and cognitive/behavioural features.
