Body image and hopelessness among early-stage breast cancer survivors after surgery in China: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Nursing open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
aimTo examine the body image and hopelessness status of early-stage breast cancer survivors who received a one-time dressing change after surgery and were ready to be discharged from a hospital in China.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsParticipants were 211 women with breast cancer who had received a one-time dressing change postsurgery. Spearman's correlation and structural equation modelling were used for data analysis.
resultsParticipants in the 35-45 age group and those who underwent bilateral mastectomy presented higher scores for hopelessness. Married participants showed lower scores for the feelings about the future subscale compared to other subscales. Body image was significantly and positively associated with and had a positive effect on hopelessness. Women with a more positive appraisal of their body image tended to report lower levels of hopelessness. Healthcare providers should evaluate patients' distress levels after a mastectomy to identify women who may require early psychosocial intervention.
