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
purposeResilience could help protect the psychosocial wellbeing of sexual minority women (SMW) experiencing stressors from both breast cancer and sexual minority status; however, little research has assessed resilience among breast cancer survivors of different sexual orientations.
methodsFrom 2011 to 2012, we surveyed a national sample of breast cancer survivors matched on sexual orientation, age, and cancer status.
resultsAmong heterosexual (n = 339) and sexual minority (n = 201) breast cancer survivors (n = 540 overall), multivariable regression analyses revealed that more social support (coefficient: 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.56-1.19), fighting spirit combined with helplessness/hopelessness (coefficient: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.13-0.47), and fatalism (coefficient: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.14-0.65) were associated with greater resilience. Mental health counseling before breast cancer diagnosis and anxious preoccupation following cancer diagnosis were associated with reduced resilience (coefficient: -2.50; 95% CI: -3.83 to -1.18; and -0.46; 95% CI: -0.60 to -0.32). Although sexual orientation was not independently associated with resilience, among SMW, those who were unemployed had reduced resilience compared with those who were employed (coefficient: -3.52; 95% CI: -5.75 to -1.28), whereas there was no association between employment and resilience among heterosexual women.
conclusionThese findings suggest that social support and other factors associated with resilience could be leveraged by interventions to improve the health and wellbeing of diverse cancer survivors.
