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
Background: This study aimed to determine the magnitude of perceived stress among cancer patients in the first year of diagnosis and to reveal the effects of stress levels and emotion regulation skills on attachment styles. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 200 patients enrolled in a medical oncology outpatient clinic in the first year of cancer diagnosis. Attachment styles were determined using the Adult Attachment Style Scale. Stress levels and emotion regulation skills were assessed with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Emotion Regulation Skills Questionnaire (ERSQ). The participants were questioned about their cohabitant status and caregiver preferences. Results: The analyses revealed that almost half of the participants (n = 99) had high stress levels ( Conclusion: Our findings support the idea that stress levels and emotion regulation affect attachment styles. Awareness of attachment theory and the effects of different forms of insecure attachment on patients is essential to improving their ability to better understand and meet their support needs.
