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 quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effects of a WeChat-based self-help psychological intervention combined with rehabilitation exercises on disease acceptance, psychological distress, psychological resilience, and mindfulness levels in patients with breast cancer.
methodsFrom February 2018 to February 2019, eighty patients diagnosed with breast cancer were non-randomly assigned to an observation group (n = 40) and a control group (n = 40). The control group received standard WeChat-based health education, while the observation group received an additional intervention involving self-help psychological strategies (e.g., cognitive reappraisal, gratitude journaling) and rehabilitation exercises (e.g., abdominal breathing, aerobic activity). Validated instruments including the Self-Acceptance Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Psychological Distress Thermometer, and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were used to measure outcomes pre- and post-intervention.
resultsPost-intervention, the observation group showed significantly greater improvements in self-acceptance, positive emotions, resilience, and mindfulness compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Psychological distress, negative emotions, and fear-related death attitudes (e.g., escape acceptance, fear of death) significantly decreased in the observation group compared to control (P < 0.05). Nursing satisfaction was also significantly higher in the observation group (95%) than in the control group (75%) (P < 0.05).
conclusionWeChat-based self-help psychological interventions combined with rehabilitation exercises are effective in improving psychological resilience, mindfulness, and disease acceptance while reducing emotional distress in breast cancer patients. These results support the integration of mobile health platforms in psycho-oncological care. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
