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: To describe and analyze the potential profile characteristics associated with coping styles of dyspnea-related fear among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to explore the influencing factors of potential categories. Patients and Methods: From March 2023 to August 2024, a cross-sectional study survey, involving 539 COPD patients from four tertiary hospitals, was conducted in Suzhou, China, by convenience sampling. The general information questionnaire, medical coping modes questionnaire, breathlessness beliefs questionnaire, 13-Beck depression inventory, revised COPD anxiety questionnaire, breathlessness catastrophizing scale, COPD self-efficacy scale and the modified medical research council dyspnea scale were employed for data collection. Latent profile analysis was performed to analyze the characteristics on coping styles of dyspnea-related fear among COPD patients, and logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the influencing factors of potential categories. Results: Four profiles of coping styles of dyspnea-related fear were identified, designated as "low fear-confrontation (n = 151, 28.01%)", "moderate-high fear-acceptance-resignation (n = 126, 23.38%)", "moderate fear-confrontation (n = 160, 29.69%)", and "high fear-avoidance (n = 102, 18.92%)". Logistic regression analysis showed that disease duration, lung function, frequency of acute exacerbation during the previous year, depression, degree of dyspnea, anxiety, comorbidities and disease knowledge were factors influencing the coping styles of dyspnea-related fear in the different subgroups ( Conclusion: There are obvious characteristic profiles on coping styles of dyspnea-related fear among patients with COPD, with differences in disease duration, frequencies of acute exacerbation, lung function, knowledge of COPD, comorbidity, degree of dyspnea, anxiety and depression across subgroups, which provide insight to identify and adopt early intervention strategies.
