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
objectivesPositive psychological changes in cancer patients have been shown to positively influence disease progression and enhance quality of life. Based on this, the present study explores the psychological dynamics facilitating post-traumatic growth (PTG) in cervical cancer patients, specifically examining the roles of self-disclosure and marital intimacy in this process.
methodsThis was a descriptive qualitative study.Twelve patients with cervical cancer were recruited from Nantong, China to participate in this study. Data were collected between October 2022 and August 2023 and analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step analysis.
resultsIn this study, six thematic keywords were extracted: "Traumatic reactions", "Psychological breakdown", "Need for self-disclosure", "Enhanced marital intimacy", "Cognitive restructuring and life changes", and "Current needs and future expectations".
conclusionsBoth self-disclosure and marital intimacy played pivotal roles in facilitating PTG among cervical cancer patients. Nurses should focus on fostering positive psychological changes in cervical cancer patients-specifically, self-disclosure and marital intimacy play significant roles in facilitating post-traumatic growth. This suggests that fostering self-disclosure and marital intimacy could be important therapeutic goals to enhance psychosocial well-being and quality of life in cervical cancer patients.
