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: Women with advanced gynecological cancer experience both physical and emotional suffering. In response to these challenges, they adopt various coping strategies. Identifying the factors that influence these strategies is essential, as certain coping mechanisms have a significant impact on improving their quality of life. Purpose: This study explored the associations between demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, uncertainty, and coping strategies among women with advanced gynecological cancer based on the Stress Adaptation Model by Stuart. Patients and methods: Secondary data analysis was completed on the survey responses of 143 women with gynecological cancer in stage III or stage IV of an original 165 respondents. Results: The three most used coping strategies were acceptance (M = 6.24, SD = 1.22), positive reframing (M = 6.16, SD = 1.76), and self-distraction (M = 5.98, SD = 1.91), and the least used coping strategy was substance use (M = 2.03, SD = 0.33). Modifiable variables influencing the 14 coping strategies were education and subjective economic level. Non-modifiable variables influencing the 14 coping strategies were age, treatment experience, comorbidity, and lymphedema. The factor associated with all three groups of coping strategies (problem-focused, active emotional, and avoidant emotional) was uncertainty. Conclusion: Women with advanced gynecological cancer utilized different coping strategies depending on their demographic and clinical characteristics as well as their level of uncertainty. Identifying factors associated with coping strategies used by women with advanced gynecological cancer can lead to interventions that assist them in using adaptive coping strategies.
