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

backgroundSelf-advocacy plays a crucial role in the mental health and treatment outcomes of oncology patients, particularly those with uterine malignancies. Despite its significance, research on the self-advocacy levels and influencing factors among Chinese patients with uterine malignancies remains limited.

objectivesTo assess the self-advocacy levels among Chinese patients with uterine malignancies and identify the demographic, psychological resilience, and decision self-efficacy factors that influence self-advocacy.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from March 1 to September 1, 2023, involving 220 inpatients with uterine malignancies from three tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province, China. Participants were recruited using convenience sampling and completed the General Information Questionnaire, Female Cancer Survivorship Self-advocacy Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Decision Self-efficacy Scale.

resultsThe average self-advocacy score among participants was 59.44 ± 10.14. Significant positive correlations were found between self-advocacy, psychological resilience, and decision self-efficacy. The random forest algorithm identified decision self-efficacy, psychological resilience, family average income, type of medical insurance, educational level, and residence as the six most important influencing factors, with the optimal model performance observed when lambda (λ) = 1.191. Multiple linear regression analysis further confirmed that decision self-efficacy, psychologic resilience, family average income, educational level, and residence were significant predictors of self-advocacy. DISCUSSION: The self-advocacy levels of Chinese patients with uterine malignancies were relatively low, with decision self-efficacy, psychological resilience, and socioeconomic factors significantly influencing their self-advocacy abilities. Future targeted interventions should focus on enhancing patients' decision self-efficacy and psychological resilience, thereby guiding them to actively respond and participate in decision-making, ultimately improving self-advocacy among patients with uterine malignancies.
