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.

Abstract
objectiveOf all cancers, advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with the highest burden on mental and physical health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Patients' subjective beliefs about their cancer (i.e., illness perceptions) may influence coping responses and treatment decisions and affect health. To identify cognitive and emotional perceptions and their association with patient characteristics and illness circumstances, the relationship between illness perception schemas and psychological and physical responses and symptoms were studied.
methodPatients newly diagnosed with stage IV NSCLC (N = 186) enrolled in a prospective cohort study (NCT03199651) completed measures of illness perceptions; anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms; and health status. Latent profile analysis identified illness perception profiles. Hierarchical linear regressions tested profile assignment as a correlate of responses and symptoms.
resultsA three-profile solution was optimal. Patients with a "struggling" profile (n = 83; 45%) reported the most negative perceptions; patients with a "coping" profile (n = 41; 22%) reported relatively positive perceptions; and patients with a "coping but concerned" profile (n = 62; 33%) endorsed high illness concern but relatively positive perceptions otherwise. Patients with a "struggling" profile reported the highest levels of anxiety and depression symptoms, overall physical symptoms, cough, dyspnea, and pain, and the poorest self-rated health.
conclusionsNew data add to the clinical portrayal of patients coping with NSCLC since the availability of new therapies and survival improvements. Other disease groups have reported a predominance of positive perceptions, rather than ones of significant cognitive and emotional struggles found here. Illness perception data may provide content-rich resources for intervention tailoring. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
