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
Background: Stigma is a significant issue among patients with cervical cancer undergoing postoperative chemotherapy, yet the factors contributing to stigma are not well understood. While research has explored the relationships between self-efficacy, illness perception, self-esteem, social support, and stigma, fewer studies have focused on Chinese patients, and even fewer have specifically examined stigma within this population. Objective: This study aimed to describe stigma and assess its association with self-efficacy, self-esteem, illness perception, and social support in postoperative chemotherapy patients diagnosed with cervical cancer. Methods: A total of 132 participants were recruited from the gynecology department of Wenzhou Medical University's First Affiliated Hospital using a random sampling technique. Data were collected between December 2023 and April 2024 using validated instruments. Descriptive statistics and Spearman's rank correlation were used for data analysis. Results: The average stigma score was 76.3 (SD = 10.84), indicating a high level of stigma. Self-efficacy, self-esteem, illness perception, and social support were negatively correlated with stigma ( Conclusion: All participants experienced significant stigma. The negative correlations found between stigma and self-efficacy, self-esteem, illness perception, and social support offer a theoretical basis for developing nursing interventions to reduce stigma in these patients.
