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

objectivesThis study examined longitudinal associations between spirituality and quality of life (QoL) in women newly diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing chemotherapy at a large tertiary cancer center.

methodsWomen (

resultsBaseline Faith was positively associated with Meaning ( SIGNIFICANCE OF

resultsOverall, findings demonstrate that Faith is indirectly associated with long-term QoL through early increases in Meaning and Peace. Because 90% of participants were within 6 weeks of diagnosis, the study provided a unique perspective on spirituality during the early treatment period. Clinically, results highlight the importance of early assessment of spiritual well-being and suggest that meaning-focused interventions may enhance long-term QoL for women undergoing chemotherapy.
