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
backgroundReminiscence therapy (RT) relieves mental disorders and improves quality of life (QoL) in some cancer survivors, but in postoperative cervical cancer patients, its effect is unclear. This study aimed to assess the impact of reminiscence therapy involved care (RTIC) and usual care (UC) on anxiety, depression, QoL, and survival in postoperative cervical cancer patients.
methodsIn this randomized control study, 152 eligible postoperative cervical cancer patients were randomized as 1:1 ratio into RTIC (N = 76) and UC (N = 76) groups: the former received routine care and RT, while the latter only received routine care for 12 months. Anxiety, depression, and QoL were evaluated from baseline (month (M) 0) to M12, respectively. Patients were continuously followed up to M36 for overall survival (OS) calculation.
resultsHADS-Anxiety score from M6 to M12 was decreased; both HADS-Depression score from M9 to M12 and depression rate at M12 were reduced in RTIC group compared with UC group (all P < 0.05). QLQ-C30 global health status score at M6 and M12, as well as QLQ-C30 function score at M12, was increased in RTIC group compared with UC group (all P < 0.05). However, QLQ-C30 symptom score at each visit and OS exhibited no difference between the two groups. From sub-group analysis, RTIC disclosed a distinct effect on patients whose age ≥ 50 years but not on those < 50 years.
conclusionRTIC reduces anxiety (partly) and depression and improves QoL in postoperative cervical cancer patients, especially in old patients.
