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

objectivePatients with hematological tumors frequently experience lower life satisfaction, highlighting the need to identify factors that can increase well-being. This research investigated the influence of family support on the life satisfaction of hematologic cancer patients, considering the mediating role of hope.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 322 patients with hematologic tumors completed a series of questionnaires on demographic information, family support, the hope index, and life satisfaction. A structural equation model is established to evaluate the mediating effect between variables.

resultsThe structural equation model fits well. Family support significantly positively predicted hope and life satisfaction (β = 0.54, p < 0.001; β = 0.19, p < 0.01), and hope significantly positively predicted life satisfaction (β = 0.45, p < 0.001).

conclusionsA significant positive correlation was observed between the degree of family support and life satisfaction among patients with hematological tumors. Moreover, hope serves as a partial mediator in the connection between life satisfaction and family support for such patients, suggesting that family support indirectly impacts life satisfaction by nurturing hope.
