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
Background: Patients with unilateral breast loss after single mastectomy for breast cancer may have body image disorders such as surgical lymphedema, flap ischemia, and spinal deformity, resulting in negative emotions such as depression, inferiority, and social dysfunction. This study mainly investigated and analyzed the status quo and influencing factors of body image disorder in breast cancer patients after single mastectomy. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. Breast cancer patients admitted from May 2023 to April 2024 were selected as the research subjects. Data were collected with a general information questionnaire, the Body Image Scale (BIS), the Self-Image Scale, the Self-Acceptance Questionnaire, and the Perceived Social Support Scale. Based on the scores, the research subjects were divided into a body image disturbance group and a non-disturbance group. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to analyze the influencing factors of body image disturbances in breast cancer patients. Results: One hundred fifty questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 146 valid questionnaires were collected. Among the 146 patients, 51 (34.93%) experienced body image disturbances after surgery, while 95 (65.07%) did not. The results of univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses showed that educational level, lymphedema in the affected limb, intimate relationships, self-image, self-acceptance, and perceived social support scores were independent risk factors for body image disturbances in breast cancer patients after surgery (P < .05). Conclusion: Body image disturbances in breast cancer patients who undergo unilateral mastectomy need further improvement. Educational level, lymphedema in the affected limb, intimate relationships, self-image, self-acceptance, and perceived social support are the main influencing factors.
