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
Objective: To examine whether body surveillance and body shame mediated the association between self-compassion and body image disturbance among young breast cancer patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, a total of 310 young women with breast cancer were recruited by convenience sampling. All of them completed self-report measurements of demographic and clinical characteristics, self-compassion scale, body image self-rating questionnaire for breast cancer and body surveillance scale, and body shame scale between September and December 2021 at a tertiary cancer hospital in Tianjin, China. Data analysis was performed with correlation analysis and structural equation modeling to verify relationships between key variables. Results: Less self-compassion was significantly associated with greater body image disturbance, while a positive correlation was found between body image disturbance, body surveillance, and body shame. Self-compassion indirectly negative predicted body image disturbance via the chain mediation of body surveillance and body shame. Conclusions: The links of self-compassion and body image disturbance were mediated by body surveillance and body shame. Reducing patients' excessive body surveillance and body shame by improving their ability of self-compassion may be an effective measure to reduce body image disturbance.
