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
objectiveTo investigate the relationship between maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation and fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer patients with a history of suicide attempts.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 289 breast cancer patients from January to April 2025. The cognitive-emotional regulation questionnaire was used to assess maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation, and the cancer recurrence fear scale was used to assess fear of cancer recurrence. Demographic, clinical, and psychosocial data were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted, and smooth curve fitting was used to explore nonlinear relationships.
resultsThe women in this group were aged 20-79 years. Non-adaptive cognitive-emotional regulation was associated with cancer recurrence fear in a non-linear positive association with a mid-range convexity relationship (p < 0.001). Fear of cancer recurrence increased with higher scores on non-adaptive cognitive-emotional regulation until reaching a plateau around 69 points (β = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.38-0.52, p < 0.001 below the threshold; β = 0.08, 95% CI: 0.01-0.15, p = 0.03 above the threshold). Age, educational level, and time since diagnosis significantly moderated this relationship (all interaction terms p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study identified a non-linear positive association with a mid-range convexity correlation between adaptive and maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation and fear of cancer recurrence, highlighting a threshold effect. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation processes in psychological interventions targeting this vulnerable population.
