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 investigate the interrelations among depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, decision-related factors, and health behaviors in prostate cancer survivors with urinary incontinence using a network analysis approach. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 251 prostate cancer survivors experiencing urinary incontinence at a tertiary hospital in China between October 2025 and February 2026. Participants completed self-administered electronic questionnaires assessing depression, anxiety, shared decision making, decisional conflict, loneliness, urinary incontinence, and exercise adherence. Scale-level and symptom-level networks were estimated using Gaussian graphical models with graphical LASSO regularization and EBIC model selection. Centrality, predictability, and network stability were examined using bootstrap procedures. Results: At the scale level, anxiety and depression emerged as the most central nodes, forming a tightly connected psychological cluster with loneliness. Shared decision making was strongly associated with decisional conflict (partial Conclusions: Depression and anxiety occupy central positions within integrated psychosocial and clinical networks among prostate cancer survivors with urinary incontinence. Identifying these core nodes underscores their importance for clinical monitoring and comprehensive symptom assessment. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether these central symptoms predict or influence broader psychological distress, treatment-related symptoms, and health behaviors.
