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
objectivesThis study was conducted to determine the relationship between death anxiety, spiritual well-being, and social support in patients with gynecological cancer.
methodsThis descriptive study consisted of 519 patients with gynecological cancers. Data were collected using a "Personal Information Form," the "Death Anxiety Scale," the "Spiritual Well-Being Scale," and the "Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale."
resultsThe mean total score of the Death Anxiety Scale was 6.8 ± 2.95, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale was 31.16 ± 5.24, and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale was 62.46 ± 13.76. A positive correlation was found between the scores of the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale. However, death anxiety levels were not influenced by spiritual well-being or social support levels ( SIGNIFICANCE OF
resultsThe findings of this study highlight the importance of social support as a key factor associated with higher levels of spiritual well-being in women with gynecological cancer. Strengthening patients' support systems may contribute to better psychological and spiritual adjustment during cancer treatment. Although death anxiety was not significantly related to either spiritual well-being or perceived social support, this result suggests that death anxiety may be influenced by other clinical or personal factors beyond these psychosocial variables. These findings provide guidance for developing supportive care programs that prioritize social support enhancement to improve overall patient well-being.
