Trial report in Irish journal of medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundCognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) modifies individuals' maladaptive cognition and improves their ability in managing stress. The present study was to inquire about the utility of CBSM in mental health and quality of life in patients with cervical cancer.
methodsTotally, 172 postoperative cervical cancer patients were randomly classified into CBSM (N=86) and normal care group (N=86) to receive 8-week CBSM and normal care, correspondingly. Self-rating anxiety/depression scale (SAS/SDS), EuroQol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D), EuroQol-visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS), and quality of life questionnaire-core 30 (QLQ-C30) scores were evaluated at discharge (M0), 1
resultsSAS scores at M6 (P=0.003), M1 (P=0.042), and M3 (P=0.010), and the proportion of patients with SAS-defined anxiety at M3 (P=0.040) and M6 (P=0.019) were reduced in CBSM group versus normal care group. SDS scores at M3 (P=0.020) and M6 (P=0.016), and the proportion of patients with SDS-defined depression at M6 (P=0.036) was descended in CBSM group versus normal care group. EQ-VAS score at M1 (P=0.044), M3 (P=0.014), and M6 (P=0.002) were increased, while EQ-5D score at M3 (P=0.030) was descended in CBSM group versus normal care group. Meanwhile, QLQ-C30 global health status score at M1 (P=0.046), M3 (P=0.037), and M6 (P=0.007), QLQ-C30 function score at M3 (P=0.033) and M6 (P=0.016) were ascended, but QLQ-C30 symptom score at M3 (P=0.042) was declined in CBSM group versus normal care group.
conclusionCBSM is an effective intervention for decreasing anxiety and depression, and improving quality of life in patients with cervical cancer.
