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 investigate the effect of incentive nursing care (ICN) as a supplementary therapy to routine nursing care (RNC) on depression and anxiety (DA) in patients undergoing thyroid cancer (TC) surgery during the perioperative period (PPP).
methodsA thorough search was conducted across various electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, WANGFANG, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, spanning from their inception to October 1, 2023. The inclusion criteria were limited to randomized controlled trials focusing on the effects of ICN and RNC on DA in TC surgery during PPP. The primary outcomes assessed were depression, using the Self-Rating Depression Scale, and anxiety, measured by the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. Additionally, the influence of ICN and RNC on the overall quality of life of the patients was evaluated using the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30. Statistical analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.4 software.
resultsThis meta-analysis incorporated a total of 12 eligible trials encompassing 999 patients. The findings indicated that the combination of ICN and RNC yielded superior outcomes compared to RNC alone across various measures. Specifically, ICN plus RNC demonstrated significant improvements over RNC alone in terms of the Self-Rating Depression Scale (P < .001), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (P < .001), and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (physical function, role function, cognitive function, emotional function, social function, and overall quality of life) (P < .001).
conclusionThe findings of this study demonstrate the considerable benefits of implementing ICN and RNC in the management of DA among patients with TC during PPP. However, it is crucial to interpret these results cautiously in light of the aforementioned limitations.
