1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBreast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is relatively common in postoperative breast cancer patients, requiring early, lifelong prevention. However, these patients often have low preventive behavioral intention, with unclear influencing factors, and their internal links urgently need a systematic analysis of these interrelationships.

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted on 672 breast cancer survivors at different postoperative stages to collect sociodemographic data and psychological variables related to lymphedema preventive intention. After univariate analysis of sociodemographic data, binary logistic regression identified significant predictors of intention, and path analysis elucidated the directional relationships between psychological variables and preventive intention.

resultsMultidimensional interventions that strengthen lymphedema prevention knowledge and enhance self-efficacy, risk perception, and positive expectations are likely to increase the preventive behavioral intentions of breast cancer survivors and promote active self-management after hospital discharge.

conclusionsMultidimensional interventions that reinforce lymphedema prevention knowledge and enhance self-efficacy, risk perception, and positive expectation are likely to increase the preventive behavioral intention of breast cancer survivors and encourage active self-management after hospital discharge.
