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

Objective: This study aimed to perform a meta-analysis of randomized control trials to evaluate the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on depression, anxiety, fatigue, distress, the fear of cancer recurrence, and the quality of life in gynecological cancer patients. Methods: An extensive literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and CINAHL was performed, and a meta-analysis was conducted on ten studies that included 1027 patients. The quality of the data was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. The effect size of the mean difference and standardized mean difference were computed using Revman 5.4.1. Results: Gynecological cancer patients receiving cognitive behavioral therapy showed decreases in depression ( Conclusions: Cognitive behavioral therapy was shown to be a useful treatment for the symptoms experienced by women with gynecological cancer, with significant effect sizes. However, more research is required to validate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy in patients with gynecological cancer, considering the limitations of this study's small sample size and statistical heterogeneity. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO- CRD42024516039.
