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

Trauma can lead to mental illness, but it can also result in positive outcomes known as post-traumatic growth (PTG). Many cancer survivors who experience trauma report experiencing PTG, which is connected to psychological resilience-the ability to adapt and cope with stress. Metacognitive skills, cognitions about cognitions, are critical for managing life challenges. Previous studies assessing metacognition in cancer patients have primarily utilized self-report scales to evaluate metacognitive cognitions. In contrast, the present study is the first to assess metacognitive skills in cancer patients using a semi-structured, interview-based approach with interviewer-administered scoring Metacognition Assessment Scale-Abbreviated (MAS-A). This study investigated the relationship between metacognitive skills with psychological resilience and PTG in cancer survivors. The study included 45 cancer patients in remission. Participants completed assessments: the MAS-A for metacognitive skills, the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) for PTG, the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) for resilience, World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Brief for life quality. MAS-A is interviewer-rated, while the remaining scales are self-reports. There was no significant relationship between the MAS-A and PTGI scores (p > .05). However, positive correlations were found between the MAS-A and RSA scores (r
