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

purposeTo explore the mechanism by which coping styles of bladder cancer patients influence the relationship between family functioning and delay in seeking medical care. This knowledge could provide a basis for developing interventions to address delayed medical care for patients with bladder cancer.

methodsA total of 312 patients with bladder cancer were investigated using the General Information Questionnaire, Questionnaire on the patient's medical condition, the Medical Coping Style Scale, and the Family Functioning Rating Scale.

resultThe median delay time for bladder cancer patients was 44.5 days, and the family functioning score at (124.50 ± 24.86), with the face dimension score at (1.66 ± 0.53), the recuse dimension score at (2.48 ± 0.66), and the yield dimension score at (1.34 ± 0.57). The total score of family functioning and each dimension were positively correlated with the delay time of medical care, the coping styles (face) were negatively correlated with the delay time of medical care, and the coping styles (recuse and yield) were positively correlated with it. The mediating effect model showed that family function had an indirect effect through coping styles (face, recuse, and yield), with a total effect of 0.369, and coping styles (face, recuse, and yield) had a mediating effect on the delay time of medical care (indirect effect sizes were 0.123, 0.096, and 0.114, respectively).

conclusionThe coping styles of patients with bladder cancer play a mediating role between family functioning and the delay in seeking medical care. Medical staff should encourage bladder cancer patients to adopt a proactive coping approach and improve the support capacity of bladder cancer patients' families to effectively shorten the delay time.
