Determining the relationship between breast cancer fear in women and levels of cyberchondria.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between breast cancer fear and the level of cyberchondria in women.
methodsThis descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 379 women aged 18 years and older. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Cyberchondria Severity Scale-Short Form, and the Breast Cancer Fear Scale. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26.0.
resultsThe participants' mean total score on the Cyberchondria Severity Scale-Short Form was 33.73±10.72 (moderate level), while the mean total score on the Breast Cancer Fear Scale was 24.37±9.11 (high level). Significant associations were found between the Cyberchondria Severity Scale-Short Form total score and participants' educational status, menopausal status, and practice of breast self-examination, as well as between the Breast Cancer Fear Scale total score and history of clinical breast examination (p<0.05). A positive significant correlation was observed between the Cyberchondria Severity Scale-Short Form total score and the Breast Cancer Fear Scale total score (r=0.464; p<0.05).
conclusionNurses should promote health literacy and guide individuals toward reliable sources, employing an interdisciplinary approach to manage patient fears. By increasing awareness of regular screenings and breast self-examinations, nurses play a key role in mitigating anxiety and fear among high-risk women.
