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
Purpose: Men receiving prostate cancer care often need clear information about disease status, tests, treatment effects, and follow-up. This study described information and education needs among men with prostate cancer in western Guangxi, China and examined routinely available factors that may help healthcare teams identify patients who need more support. Patients and Methods: In this single-center cross-sectional study, 320 men with histologically confirmed prostate cancer were recruited from outpatient and inpatient urology units in western Guangxi from January 2024 to June 2025. Participants completed the Chinese 34-item Short-Form Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF34), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate. The health system and information needs (HSIN) domain of the SCNS-SF34 was the primary outcome. Group comparisons, Spearman correlations, multiple linear regression with HC3 robust standard errors, and false-discovery-rate correction for exploratory testing families were used. Results: The mean HSIN score was 45.01 ± 21.25, and 252 participants (78.8%) reported moderate-to-high need on at least one HSIN item. The leading priorities were knowing whether cancer was under control or improving (33.1%), receiving test results promptly (32.2%), and receiving written care information (31.9%). In the main adjusted model, higher HSIN scores were associated with poorer Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ( Conclusion: Information needs were common and centered on disease-status explanation, timely test-result communication, and written materials. Brief HSIN screening may support urology, nursing, and follow-up teams in tailoring patient education and care coordination. These cross-sectional findings identify practical targets for future service-improvement studies.
