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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the reproductive concerns and their influencing factors among adolescents and young adults with acute leukaemia and to explore the relationship between reproductive concerns and patients' quality of life.
designA cross-sectional study.
settingThe haematology departments of four tertiary-level hospitals in Hunan province, China.
participantsConvenience sampling method was used to recruit 233 adolescents and young adults with acute leukaemia, from June 2024 to December 2024. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was assessed using the Chinese version of the Reproductive Concerns After Cancer and the secondary outcome was measured by the 12-item Short Form Health Survey.
resultsAdolescents and young adults with acute leukaemia had a mean reproductive concerns score of 55.57±7.57, a quality of life physical component summary (PCS) score of 38.54±8.58 and a mental component summary (MCS) score of 39.84±8.78. Univariate analysis showed significant differences in reproductive concerns based on fertility status, place of residence, education level, fertility counselling and family history of acute leukaemia (p<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed already childbearing (β=-0.169, p=0.009), a high education level (β=-0.256, p=0.020), rural residence (β=0.183, p=0.006), receipt of fertility counselling (β=0.161, p=0.012) and family history (β=0.139, p=0.029) as independent risk factors for reproductive concerns. Spearman correlation analysis showed no significant correlation between reproductive concerns and the PCS but revealed a significant negative correlation between reproductive concerns and the MCS (β=-0.170, p<0.01).
conclusionAdolescents and young adults with acute leukaemia exhibited moderately high levels of reproductive concerns, particularly those who had no children, had a low education level, resided in rural areas, had a family history of acute leukaemia or had received fertility counselling. Therefore, we suggest that healthcare providers prioritise addressing reproductive concerns in high-risk patients by offering tailored, high-quality and continuous fertility counselling and psychological support. Strengthening these strategies can help alleviate reproductive concerns and improve both mental health and overall quality of life in this population.
