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
purposeTo study the level of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in patients receiving surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and explore related factors that can increase levels of hope in this population, enhance the confidence to defeat the disease, and thus increase the quality of life.
methodsA total of 327 postoperative NSCLC patients from the National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were enrolled. All participants completed the General Questionnaire, Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), Herth Hope Index (HHI) Scale, and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS).
resultsThe mean FoP-Q-SF score was (30.3 ± 9.48) points in postoperative NSCLC patients, Among them, there were 188 patients (57.5%) who had psychological dysfunction, indicated by a score of > / = 34. Patient sex and family income were independent risk factors for FCR (both p < 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a negative association between FCR and hope level (p < 0.05) and a positive association between hope level and social support (p < 0.05). Notably, social support mediated the association between FCR and hope in patients receiving surgery for NSCLC (contribution effect: 30.24%).
conclusionPostoperative NSCLC patients experience a moderate level of FCR, especially females and those with a low family income. Social support partially mediates the relationship between FCR and hope in this population. Therefore, an increase in the level of social support can increase hope among these patients and advancing recovery.
