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
Purpose: To investigate the perception of uncertainty concerning illness among parents of children with central nervous system tumors and their coping styles and to analyze correlations to provide a basis for developing targeted intervention measures. Methods: We studied 108 parents of children with central nervous system tumors admitted from January 2023 to January 2024. Information about these children and their parents were analyzed using the modified Parents' Perception of Uncertainty in Illness Scale (PPUS) and the Coping Health Inventory for Parents to calculate correlations of parents' perceptions of uncertainty concerning illness and coping styles. Results: The total score of PPUS was 45.28 ± 8.428 for the parents of children. The most common coping styles were the maintenance of family unity, cooperation, and optimism. The correlation analysis revealed that parents' perception of uncertainty concerning illness negative correlated with coping style ( Conclusion: The parents of children with central nervous system tumors show substantial perception of uncertainty concerning the illness and are susceptible to lack of communication and expression. Positive, effective coping methods should be adopted to reduce uncertainty concerning illness to reduce the psychological pressure on parents.
