1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo explore the status and influencing factors of the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in postoperative patients with lung carcinoma (LC).

methodsThe survey results of 219 LC patients who underwent surgical treatment in a tertiary grade A cancer hospital in Beijing from January 2020 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed by using the general information questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF).

resultsThe score of the FoP-Q-SF was (25.68±3.15 points) in postoperative LC patients, and education level and per capita monthly household income were identified as the independent risk factors affecting FCR. There was an inverse correlation between FCR and social support in postoperative LC patients (P<0.05).

conclusionsPostoperative LC patients experience a moderate-level of FCR, especially females and those with a low family income. Social support plays an essential role in alleviating FCR. Nursing suggestions should be given according to individual differences of patients, and social health service resources should be effectively utilized to reduce FCR.
