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: This study investigated preoperative anxiety levels in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung tumors and analyzed factors influencing postoperative changes in anxiety, aiming to provide a scientific basis for psychological intervention. Methods: We enrolled 213 patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery for lung tumors at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between July 2024 and August 2025. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified factors associated with preoperative anxiety and postoperative changes in anxiety levels. Results: The prevalence of preoperative anxiety symptoms was 19.72%. Multivariate logistic regression identified comorbid hypertension Conclusions: Comorbid hypertension significantly influences preoperative anxiety in these patients. Furthermore, age greater than 58 years, a malignant pathological diagnosis, and a postoperative hospitalization longer than 3 days are important factors associated with elevated postoperative anxiety.
