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 Psychological Expectation Scale for Patients with Middle- and Late-Stage Cervical Cancer (PES-PMLSCC) was developed to assess the psychological expectations of patients with middle and late cervical cancer, and its reliability, validity, and acceptability were tested.
methodEmploying classical test theory methodology, a cohort of 148 cervical cancer patients classified as FIGO Stage III or IV (or equivalent TNM staging) was enrolled in this study. The PES-PMLSCC scale was developed. The initial iteration of the PES-PMLSCC was refined through item analysis. To assess the structural validity of the final scale, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted, followed by preliminary internal validation using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). The criterion-related validity (CRV) of the final PES-PMLSCC version was evaluated by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient between the PES-PMLSCC and the QLQ-C30.
resultsThe PES-PMLSCC scale comprises 14 items distributed across four subscales: physiological needs (three items), safety needs (four items), social needs (two items), and self-actualization (five items). Preliminary evidence of reliability, as indicated by a Cronbach's alpha of 0.819, a Spearman-Brown coefficient of 0.912, and a test-retest reliability coefficient of 0.928. The preliminary internal validation of the validity showed that χ
conclusionsThe findings indicate that the PES-PMLSCC is applicable for assessing the level of psychological expectations among patients with middle- and late-stage cervical cancer in China, particularly in the southwestern region.
