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

Objectives: This study aimed to classify young breast cancer patients into distinct ambivalence over emotional expression and to explore the factors influencing the level of ambivalence over emotional expression. Methods: A total of 217 young breast cancer patients were enrolled from a tertiary Grade A oncology hospital in Tianjin, China, using the convenience sampling method. All participants completed the general questionnaire, Ambivalence over Emotion Expression Questionnaire (AEQ), and Family Adapt-Ability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales-Chinese Version (FACES-CV). We employed exploratory latent profile analysis for ambivalence over emotional expression profiling and logistic regression analysis to identify the influential factors. Results: The results of the latent profile analysis supported the models of four latent profiles, which were defined as "low conflict-low expression reflection" (19.2 %), "high conflict-high inhibition expression" (43.9 %), "moderate conflict-high regret expression" (18.1 %), and "moderate conflict-desire understand" (18.8 %). Logistic regression revealed that family cohesion, marital status, residence, per capita monthly income, and cancer stage were the influencing factors of ambivalence over emotional expression in young breast cancer patients ( Conclusions: Levels of ambivalence over emotional expression ameast cancer patients with breast cancer were highly heterogeneous. Medical staff should provide psychological counseling and health education tailored to the unique characteristics of emotional expression ambivalence in different patient groups to promote healthy emotional expression among patients.
