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

Purpose: The low follow-up compliance of young and middle-aged patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary nodules warrants attention, primarily due to a series of factors such as occupational, familial, and social pressures. Enhancing follow-up adherence is essential for preventing pulmonary nodule progression and reducing lung cancer mortality. Existing research indicates that intolerance of uncertainty is closely associated with patients' follow-up compliance; however, further in-depth investigation into its influencing mechanisms and potential improvement strategies is required. Patients and Methods: This study conducted a questionnaire survey among 319 young and middle-aged patients newly diagnosed with pulmonary nodules, examining the moderating effect of self-compassion on follow-up compliance and investigating the chain intermediary role of negative interpretation bias and trust in linking intolerance of uncertainty to follow-up compliance. Results: The study found that women, urban residents, and patients over 50 years old demonstrated relatively higher follow-up compliance. Intolerance of uncertainty was found to negatively predict follow-up compliance and indirectly influenced patients' follow-up behavior through the mediating effects of negative interpretation bias and trust. Furthermore, self-compassion significantly moderated the relationship between trust and follow-up compliance. Conclusion: The findings provide a solid theoretical foundation for developing multidimensional interventions targeting both protective and risk factors. Specifically, mitigating the impact of intolerance of uncertainty on follow-up compliance can improve long-term patient health outcomes. The novel application of the chain mediation model provides valuable insights for future research and clinical practice, particularly in enhancing patient engagement and adherence to follow-up care. Future longitudinal studies are needed to explore additional influencing factors and validate these findings.
