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
purposeThis study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and test the psychometric properties of the Reproductive Concerns After Cancer scale (RCAC) in young Chinese female cancer survivors.
methodsThe Chinese version of the RCAC was developed using the standard Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) translation methodology, and then 800 young Chinese female cancer survivors were recruited to complete the scale. The validation of the RCAC is as follows: (1) content validity was evaluated by a group of experts; (2) factor structure was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis and factorial invariance analysis; (3) convergent validity was determined by correlations with the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) scale; (4) internal consistency reliability was assessed using Cronbach's α coefficient; and (5) test-retest reliability was assessed using intra-class correlations.
resultsInternal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranged from 0.71 to 0.81) and test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficients ranged from 0.82 to 0.95) of the Chinese version of the RCAC were satisfactory. Results also indicated that the content validity index of the RCAC (Chinese version) was good. The Chinese version of the RCAC score was correlated with the PHQ-9 (r = 0.568, p < 0.01) and FACT-G (r = -0.524, p < 0.01) scores, which indicated acceptable convergent validity. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a six-factor structure of the Chinese version of the RCAC with a good model fit. Moreover, multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated factorial invariance (configural, metric, scalar, and strict invariance) of the RCAC across cancer types.
conclusionsThe translation and cross-cultural adaption of the RCAC into Chinese was successful. The Chinese version of the RCAC has suitable factor structure and psychometric properties for reproductive concerns evaluation in young female cancer patients and is appropriate to use in clinical trials of Chinese patients.
