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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationships among benefit finding (BF), self-management efficacy, and social support in patients with gynecologic cancers. Methods: A total of 180 patients with gynecological cancer were selected using a convenience sampling methodology from Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Shenzhen, China. The data collection tools included sociodemographic and disease-related information, the Chinese Version of the Benefit Finding Scale (BFS), the Chinese Self-Management Efficacy Scale for Cancer Patients (C-SUPPH), and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression. The SPSS 29.0 and the PROCESS 4.2 macro were used to validate the mediating effects. Results: BF was positively correlated with social support ( Conclusion: Self-management efficacy in patients with gynecological cancers is at a moderate level. Social support indirectly influences self-management efficacy through BF. Enhancing BF could serve as an effective strategy to improve self-management efficacy in this patient population.
