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: To elucidate the current state of coping flexibility and associated factors in gastric cancer patients after gastrectomy. Methods: A cross-sectional multisite study was conducted with 142 patients with gastric cancer who completed questionnaires on coping flexibility, postgastrectomy dysfunction, health literacy, and perceived social support. Coping flexibility was measured using the Coping Flexibility Scale-Revised, which includes three subscales: Abandonment Coping (i.e., abandoning ineffective coping strategies), Re-Coping (i.e., assessing the process of developing and implementing alternative coping strategies), and Meta-Coping (i.e., monitoring coping flexibility process). Higher scores indicate greater coping flexibility. Descriptive statistics and univariable and multivariable logistic analyses were conducted to examine factors associated with coping flexibility. Results: The mean age of the participants was 72.6 (± 10.5) years. Limited activity due to decreased food consumption was associated with lower scores for Abandonment Coping (odds ratio [OR]: 0.4; Conclusions: Limited activity due to decreased food consumption and limited coping flexibility were significantly associated. Health literacy had an important role in facilitating coping flexibility. Nursing support may be crucial in evaluating coping strategies and developing alternatives based on new information.
