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
backgroundThis study aimed to determine the impact of gynecological cancers on women’s marital satisfaction, spousal support, and quality of life. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe research was conducted as a comparative descriptive and cross-sectional study with a total of 202 women, consisting of 100 with gynecological cancer and 102 without. The data were obtained through face-to-face interview techniques using a personal information form created by the researcher, the Marital Satisfaction Scale, the Spousal Support Scale, and the Quality of Life Scale (Short Form Health Survey- SF 36).
resultsThe average age of women with gynecological cancer was 50.76 ± 8.75 years, the duration since diagnosis was 27.6 months, 42% had endometrial cancer, and 48% were at stage I. Quality of life scores measured with SF-36 were significantly lower in women with gynecologic cancer in all subscales except mental health (p values ranged from 0.001 to 0.050). Spouse support scale in the appraisal support sub-dimension scores were also significantly lower in women with cancer (p = 0.047). However, no significant difference was found between women with and without gynecologic cancer in terms of marital satisfaction scale total score (p = 0.455) and spousal support scale total score (p = 0.118).
conclusionWhile quality of life and perceived spousal support decreased in women with gynecological cancer, no significant difference was observed in total marital satisfaction scores. It is anticipated that the traumatic effects caused by gynecological cancer in women will decrease with the care and biopsychosocial support of health professionals.
