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
Despite being exposed to a high risk of cancer and a substantial psychological burden, cancer caregivers often neglect their own health check-ups and cancer screening behaviors. This study aimed to examine the effects of ruminative thinking styles and cancer fear on attitudes toward cancer screening among cancer caregivers. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between August 2025 and January 2026 with 446 primary caregivers of patients receiving outpatient treatment in the medical and radiation oncology departments of a training and research hospital located in eastern Turkey. Data were collected through face‒to-face interviews via a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Cancer Fear Scale, the Ruminative Thought Style Scale, and the short form of the Attitudes Toward Cancer Screening Scale. The results revealed a moderate, positive, and statistically significant association between fear of cancer and ruminative thoughts (r = 0.543, p < 0.001). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that fear of cancer explained 19.3% of the variance in attitudes toward cancer screening (R
