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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of comfort nursing in the operating room on anxiety, depression and postoperative recovery in thyroidectomy patients with sleep disorders.
methodsThis retrospective analysis included 156 propensity-score-matched patients undergoing thyroidectomy at Taizhou Second People's Hospital (January 2023- September 2025). The patients were assigned to conventional care (n = 78) or comfort nursing (n = 78). Outcomes included Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), polysomnography (PSG), Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), thyroid cancer-specific quality of life (THYCA-QoL), recovery indices, complications and satisfaction.
resultsRepeated-measures ANOVA revealed significant time, group and interaction effects for HADS-A, HADS-D and PSQI scores (all p < 0.001). Both groups improved postoperatively, with the comfort group showing greater reductions at 5 days and 4 weeks (p < 0.05). PSG parameters (total sleep time, sleep efficiency, REM%, sleep latency and microarousals) also improved in both groups, with superior outcomes in the comfort group (p < 0.05). Comfort nursing was associated with short times to first flatus and ambulation, reduced hospital stay, low choking incidence and high normal swallowing rate at 72 hours (p < 0.05). Complication rates did not differ between groups (p > 0.05). The comfort group achieved higher QoR-15 and lower VAS scores on days 1-3 (p < 0.001) and lower THYCA-QoL anxiety, psychological and sensory scores at 4 weeks (p < 0.001). Satisfaction was higher in the comfort group (84.62% vs. 69.23%, p < 0.05).
conclusionsOperating room comfort nursing alleviates anxiety and depression, improves sleep architecture, promotes early recovery and enhances quality of life and satisfaction in thyroidectomy patients with sleep disorders.
