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
purposeCancer-related self-stigma (the internalized sense of shame about having cancer) has been found to associate with poorer quality of life (QoL) among cancer survivors. However, culturally salient illness beliefs (e.g., cancer is contagious; cancer is a result of karma; and cancer brings shame to the family) may make Chinese cancer survivors vulnerable to self-stigmatization. This study examined the association between self-stigma and QoL among Chinese American breast cancer survivors (BCS). To understand the potential mechanism, the mediating role of self-perceived burden to caregivers between self-stigma and QoL was also examined.
methodsChinese American BCS (n = 136) were recruited through community-based cancer associations. Participants' self-stigma, self-perceived burden, and QoL were measured in a questionnaire package.
resultsStructural equation modeling results supported the proposed mediation model in predicting physical QoL (χ
conclusionsSelf-stigma could reduce physical and emotional QoL through increasing self-perceived burden. Interventions aiming to reduce Chinese American BCS' self-stigma and perceptions of burdensomeness may facilitate improvement in QoL, which in turn promotes better cancer survivorship.
