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
Purpose: The study aimed to identify symptom clusters among NSCLC patients within 3 months postoperatively and analyze the relationships between symptom clusters and social support and self-efficacy. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from January 1 to May 31, 2024, involving NSCLC patients undergoing surgery at hospitals in Jiangsu Province. Data were collected using the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (SUPPH). Results: Exploratory factor analysis revealed five distinct symptom clusters: respiratory distress, respiratory tract discomfort, physical exhaustion, digestive dysfunction, and nighttime disturbances. The severity of physical exhaustion and nighttime disturbances was negatively correlated with PSSS scores. Conversely, the severity of respiratory distress, respiratory tract discomfort, and digestive dysfunction symptoms was negatively correlated with SUPPH scores. Conclusion: Our findings may guide medical professionals in managing postoperative symptoms in NSCLC patients. Social support and self-efficacy appear to be significant factors influencing the severity of symptom clusters.
