Assessment of a risk warning model for depression in lymphedema patients after breast cancer surgery.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objective: To identify independent risk factors for depression in breast cancer patients with postoperative lymphedema and develop an early warning model for depression prevention. Methods: 120 breast cancer patients with postoperative lymphedema were divided into depression ( Results: Depression incidence was 43.33%. Univariate analysis showed significant differences in living arrangements, family income, surgical side, lymphedema severity, body image, pain level, sleep disturbances, lymphedema knowledge, and social support. Multivariate analysis identified low family income (<3000 yuan), poor body image, and low social support as independent risk factors. External validation in the temporal consecutive internal validation cohort ( Conclusion: Breast cancer patients with postoperative lymphedema demonstrate high rates of depression, particularly among those with low family income, poor body image, and low social support. These factors represent potential targets for screening and intervention; however, causal relationships require confirmation through longitudinal and interventional studies.
