Clinical and psychosocial variables influencing preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing sinus surgery.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectiveTo explore the association between preoperative anxiety and nasal-specific symptoms in patients undergoing sinus surgery.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted on 150 patients who underwent routine sinus surgery between January 2022 and June 2025. All participants completed the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), the 22-Item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), and the Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve (APGAR) Index. Feature selection was performed using LASSO regression, followed by multivariate logistic regression to identify independent predictors of preoperative anxiety. A predictive nomogram was constructed and internally validated using the Bootstrap method. The model's performance was evaluated using ROC curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
resultsPatients in the anxiety group had significantly higher mean ages, Lund-Mackay scores, and SNOT-22 total scores, but lower monthly household income per capita and APGAR scores compared to the non-anxiety group. LASSO regression identified age, endotracheal intubation, Lund-Mackay score, monthly household income, SNOT-22, and APGAR as candidate predictors. Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that age, Lund-Mackay score, monthly household income, SNOT-22and APGAR were independent predictors of preoperative anxiety. The nomogram showed good discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. Correlation analysis revealed that the SAS score was positively correlated with the SNOT-22 score and negatively correlated with the APGAR score.
conclusionsMore severe nasal-specific symptoms and lower family support were associated with a higher risk of preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing sinus surgery. Age, Lund-Mackay score, monthly household income, SNOT-22, and APGAR were independent predictors, providing a reference for individualized anxiety intervention in clinical practice.
