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
objectiveTo investigate the factors influencing the fear of recurrence among craniopharyngioma (CP) patients.
methodsA total of 152 CP patients from Mianyang Central Hospital were recruited for this survey. The patients completed validated self-report questionnaires, including the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), Hospital Anxiety and Depressed Scale (HADS), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ).
resultsThe average post-surgery FoP-Q-SF score in CP patients was 36.29±5.22 points, with 71.1% of patients scoring above the clinical significance level (cut-off score ≥34). FoP-Q-SF scores differed significantly by type of resection, gender, and tumor size (P<0.001), with lower recurrence fear in patients undergoing total resection, female patients, and those with tumors <2.4 cm. Social support (P<0.001) and positive coping (P<0.001) were associated with a significant reduction in the fear of recurrence, while negative coping was associated with an increased fear of recurrence (P<0.001). Additionally, gender (P<0.001) and tumor size (P<0.001) also showed significant effects on fear of recurrence. The interaction between depression and gender significantly affected fear of recurrence (P<0.001), with female FoP-Q-SF scores increasing as HADS-depression scores rose, while the opposite trend was observed for male patients.
conclusionThe interaction between gender and depressive mood significantly modulates the fear of recurrence, suggesting that gender differences should be considered in clinical interventions. Social support and positive coping play a positive role in alleviating fear of recurrence, while negative coping may exacerbate the fear. Strengthening psychological assessment and support during postoperative care is recommended.
