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
purposeTo evaluate the relationship between dyadic coping, intimate relationship, and reproductive concerns of breast cancer women of reproductive age and identify the mediational role of the intimate relationship in linking dyadic coping and reproductive concerns.
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled only breast cancer patients aged 18-44 years. Finally, 296 participants aged 24-44 (38.38 ± 4.14) years were recruited. They completed the general information questionnaire, the Dyadic Coping Inventory, the Marriage Adjustment Test, and the Reproductive Concerns After Cancer Scale. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to validate the association between study variables. The structural equation model was performed to confirm the hypothesized mediation model.
resultsThis study revealed that both dyadic coping (r = - 0.579, P < 0.001) and intimate relationship (r = - 0.670, P < 0.001) reported significantly negative concerning reproductive concerns. In contrast, dyadic coping was positively related to intimate relationship (r = 0.818, P < 0.001). Additionally, our results confirmed that intimate relationship was a mediator of the relation between dyadic coping and reproductive concerns (indirect effect = - 0.543, 95% confidence interval, - 0.719 to - 0.382).
conclusionDyadic coping can impact patients' reproductive concerns through the intimate relationship, which should be considered a target for intervention. Health professionals should concentrate on implementing couple-based interventions to increase the level of dyadic coping and improve the intimate relationship between couples, which will reduce the level of reproductive concerns in patients.
