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

Objective: This study mainly explores the effect of positive psychological intervention on the psychosocial adjustment of breast cancer patients of childbearing age. Methods: A total of 130 childbearing-age breast cancer patients admitted to our hospital were enrolled as research subjects and randomly divided into a control group and an intervention group, with 65 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing care for breast cancer, while the intervention group was given a positive psychological intervention program based on the PERMA model on the basis of the same routine nursing care. The Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self Report (PAIS-SR) was used to assess the primary outcome of psychosocial adjustment, and the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS), Interpersonal Relationship Comprehensive Diagnostic Scale (IRIDS), Social Support Scale (SSS) and Posttraumatic Growth Scale (PTG) were applied to evaluate self-concept, interpersonal relationship, social support and posttraumatic growth, respectively. All above assessments were conducted at baseline, immediately after the intervention and at the 6-month follow-up. Results: Childbearing-age breast cancer patients exhibited low psychosocial adjustment. Following positive psychological intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher scores in all dimensions of the TSCS and SSS, and significantly lower scores in all dimensions of the IRIDS ( Conclusion: Positive psychological intervention significantly enhances self-concept, improves interpersonal relationships, strengthens social support, and promotes post-traumatic growth in childbearing-age breast cancer patients, ultimately elevating their level of psychosocial adjustment and enhancing their quality of life.
