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
Objective: This study aimed to develop and develop and preliminarily validate a scale for assessing marital anxiety among patients with breast cancer. Methods: Guided by Social Ecological Theory, we employed an exploratory sequential design within a mixed-methods research framework. The initial draft of the scale was developed through a systematic literature review, in-depth qualitative interviews, and expert consultations. A convenience sample of 509 patients with breast cancer was recruited for this study. Participants were randomly divided into two independent sub-samples for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: A total of 509 valid questionnaires were collected. The final scale comprised three first-level dimensions, nine second-level dimensions, and 25 items. The Cronbach's Conclusions: The scale demonstrated preliminary reliability and validity after preliminary verification and can provide a reference tool for assessing marital anxiety among married patients with breast cancer who are of childbearing age. Nevertheless, follow-up studies need to verify its structural stability and applicability to a wider population.
