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

backgroundWhile data demonstrate psychosocial support services as effective mechanisms for improving the psychological well-being of breast cancer survivors (BCS), reviews indicate more research is needed to confirm this finding. The current study examined the relationship between psychosocial support service utilization (PSSU) on adaptive coping (AC) and post-traumatic growth (PTG) among BCS.

methodsSeventy-two Non-Hispanic Black and Non-Hispanic White BCS completed a survey assessing socio-demographic/clinical characteristics, PSSU (none, one type, multiple types), AC, and PTG. Analysis of covariance was used to examine the relationship between PSSU and AC/PTG indices.

resultsSeventy-two percent of all respondents indicated utilizing one or more psychosocial support services. Among all respondents, as PSSU increased, all measures of AC and PTG significantly increased (

conclusionsThis study provides evidence of the positive relationship between PSSU and psychological well-being among a diverse group of BCS.
