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
backgroundIndividuals who undergo mastectomy encounter many psychosocial problems, and individuals need to be evaluated psychosocially during the surgery process. Although the concepts of ontological well-being and self-compassion are new in the literature, they provide important clues for the psychosocial evaluation of individuals.
aimThis study was planned to determine the ontological well-being and self-compassion levels of individuals who have had a mastectomy.
methodsThe study was planned with a descriptive and cross-sectional design and conducted in the general surgery clinic of a training and research hospital. Data were collected face-to-face by reaching 96 individuals who had mastectomy operations. Data were collected using the 'Socio-demographic information form, Self-compassion scale-short form (SCS-SF), and Ontological well-being scale (OWBS)'. Statistical methods were used to evaluate the data.
resultsWhen the study findings were examined, a statistically positive but weak relationship was found between the ontological well-being and self-compassion levels of individuals who had a mastectomy (r = 0.363, p < 0.05), and a statistically positive but weak relationship was found between all dimensions of OWBS and SCS-SF (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe significant relationship between the ontological well-being and self-compassion levels of individuals who have had a mastectomy and many sociodemographic characteristics reveals that these two psychosocial factors should be evaluated. In addition, the high levels of ontological well-being and self-compassion of individuals and the positive effects of these two concepts on each other are variables that should be considered. IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE: The study results provide insight into the ontological well-being and self-compassion levels of individuals who have had a mastectomy. Nurses can determine patients' coping skills and quality of life by examining how individuals evaluate the past, present, and future within the scope of ontological well-being and the level of compassion they show to themselves while making psychosocial assessments. With these values determined, a comprehensive nursing plan can contribute to individuals' complete state of psychosocial well-being.
