1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived social support, hope, and spiritual well-being in patients with early-stage lung cancer, as well as to explore the mediating role of hope in the association between perceived social support and spiritual well-being.

methodsThis study surveyed 418 patients diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. Each patient completed the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Herth Hope Index. The data were analyzed using SPSS and Process macros.

resultsThe final regression model, which included religion, annual household disposable income, perceived social support, and hope, explained 47.5% of the variance in spiritual well-being. Both perceived social support and hope were positively associated with spiritual well-being. The mediation analysis showed that hope partially mediated the link between perceived social support and spiritual well-being, with perceived social support exerting a significant direct and indirect impact on spiritual well-being (P < 0.05).

conclusionResearch shows that perceived social support directly and indirectly influences the spiritual well-being of early-stage lung cancer patients, with hope serving as a mediating factor that enhances their spiritual well-being.
