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: This study aims to determine the fear of recurrence and the unmet needs among cancer survivors. It also explores the associations between the fear of recurrence, unmet needs and sociodemographic factors. Patients and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out with 147 cancer survivors. The study was conducted between September 2023 and December 2024 in the training and research hospital. The data were collected using the Participant Assessment Form, the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory (FCRI), the Cancer Survivors' Unmet Needs (CaSUN-TR) Scale. Results: The findings of this study indicates that the median age of the survivors was 56 years. It was found that the fear of recurrence significantly increased with family history of cancer (p=0.001) and total unmet needs were significantly higher among females and those receiving psychological support (p=0.016; p=0.017). The regression analysis was found having a family history of cancer (ß=9.878), and total unmet needs (ß=9.939) and psychosocial support (ß=0.433) predicted the fear of cancer recurrence. Gender (ß=-0.171), psychological support (ß=0.188), and quality of life (ß=0.485) were identified as predictors of the unmet needs of cancer survivors. Conclusion: It was determined that increased unmet needs and a family history of cancer influence on the fear of cancer recurrence in cancer survivors. Therefore, determining the needs of patients receiving cancer treatment and informing patients, particularly those with a family history of cancer, is clinically important.
