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

backgroundYoung and middle-aged breast cancer patients suffer not only from physical pain but also from great psychological distress. Therefore, there is an urgent need to understand the factors influencing psychological distress in young and middle-aged breast cancer patients with the aim of reducing such distress.

designCross-sectional descriptive study.

objectiveTo explore the current status and factors influencing psychological distress in young and middle-aged breast cancer patients.

methodsIn this cross-sectional survey, relevant evaluations of the research subjects were conducted using a general information questionnaire, the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, the Self-Rating Depression Scale and the Psychological Stress Thermometer.

resultsA total of 262 patients completed the survey, and anxiety and depression were positively correlated with psychological distress. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that anxiety, depression, age, and fertility were factors influencing psychological distress among young and middle-aged breast cancer patients.

conclusionsYoung and middle-aged breast cancer patients experience a high level of psychological distress. The mental health of these patients should be addressed, and such patients should be provided with timely emotional and psychological counseling to reduce their psychological distress.
