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
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the nuanced relationship between spiritual well-being and fear of cancer progression among individuals diagnosed with cancer. Methods: The study was conducted in 2023 and utilized a predictive cross-sectional survey. A total of 398 cancer patients were recruited using convenience sampling. The Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) and the Fear of Progression (FOP) scale were used for data collection. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, AMOS, and JASP to assess the reliability of the constructs and the potential relationship between the two main variables. Results: The mean age of the participants was 49.14 years (SD = 16.16, 95% CI: 47.55 50.74). All constructs demonstrated strong factorial validity and reliability. Simple linear regression analysis revealed that spiritual well-being significantly predicted fear of cancer progression ( Discussion: The findings indicated a significant relationship between spiritual well-being and fear of cancer progression. These results highlighted the interconnectedness of spiritual well-being and fear of cancer progression among cancer patients.
