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
Objectives: According to the National Health Portal, brain cancer is witnessing an upward curve in India. The reports by medical professionals suggest that brain tumours will become the second most common cancer by 2030. Any life-threatening illness not only impacts the physical well-being of the patient but also affects the mental well-being of the patient. As an interdisciplinary field, psychology aims to understand the psychosocial components of an illness that goes beyond the realm of medical treatments. Hence, the present study focused on two psychological constructs, namely Pain Catastrophising and Fear of Personal Death. The present research aims to evaluate the relationship between Pain Catastrophising and Fear of Personal Death as well as assess the predictive role of Pain Catastrophising for Fear of Personal Death. Materials and Methods: A correlational design was adopted for the present study. The sample consisted of 180 patients who were diagnosed with a brain tumour and were scheduled for surgery for the removal of the tumour. A purposive sampling technique was used for the selection of the sample. Data were collected on two psychological measures, namely the Pain Catastrophising Scale and the Fear of Personal Death Scale. Pearson's product-moment method and regression analysis were employed for statistical analysis. Results: The findings highlight that there exists a positive association between the two components of Pain Catastrophising, namely Magnification (r = 0.644, Conclusion: Pain Catastrophising tendencies and feelings of Fear of Personal Death are prevalent amongst the selected cohort. Pain-catastrophising components are significantly associated with fear of personal death (FPD) and are also significant predictors of FPD amongst brain tumour patients.
