Demoralization and Its Association with Quality of Life, Sleep Quality, Spiritual Interests, and Suicide Risk in Breast Cancer Inpatients: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
With decreasing mortality, the quality of life, spiritual needs, and mental health of breast cancer patients have become increasingly important. Demoralization is a poor prognostic factor for cancer patients. The extent of demoralization in breast cancer patients and its association with these factors remains unclear. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a Taiwanese medical center. We enrolled 121 participants (34 with high demoralization and 87 with low demoralization, as per the Mandarin Version of Demoralization Scale). High demoralization was associated with reduced quality of life, sleep quality, and spiritual interests. Multivariate analyses revealed that the scores of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire ≥ 62.5 (OR = 0.21,
