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
purposeMastectomy is a commonly used method in the treatment of breast cancer and significantly affects patients' perception of body image. This study aimed to examine the relationship between spiritual well-being and body image perception in women who have undergone mastectomy.
methodsThe cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 124 women who underwent mastectomy in Turkey. Data were collected using the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and the Body Image after Breast Cancer Questionnaire.
resultsThe study found that 78% of women had high spiritual well-being, with an average score of 37.60 ± 6.97. The average body image score was 99.92 ± 27.42, with 63% of participants reporting a negative body image. A significant negative correlation was observed between spiritual well-being and negative body image (r = - 0.596; p < 0.001).
conclusionsSpiritual well-being plays a protective role in enhancing body image in women who have undergone mastectomy. It underscores the importance of incorporating spiritual support into psychosocial care for these patients. The study also suggests that future research should focus on positive psychological concepts such as resilience and adaptation.
