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
purposeBreast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Iraq, and chemotherapy often leads to sleep disturbances and emotional strain. Emotional resilience may help patients cope with these challenges. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and emotional resilience among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in Iraq.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from August 1st, 2024, to February 13th, 2025, in five major public hospitals across Iraq, using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic information, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Adult Resilience Measure-Revised (ARM-R). Statistical analysis was performed using Stata version 12 (StataCorp LLC, College Station, TX).
resultsIn the study, 433 breast cancer patients were involved. The findings indicated that, on average, participants stated poor sleep quality. They exhibited a high degree of emotional resilience. The analysis showed a significant negative correlation between sleep quality and resilience, suggesting that higher resilience correlates with improved sleep quality. Further multiple linear regression analysis indicated that higher resilience was associated with better sleep quality. Furthermore, age was negatively associated with sleep quality, suggesting that older patients slept slightly better, while physical complications were positively associated with poor sleep quality.
conclusionsThe study revealed a significant negative correlation between sleep quality and emotional resilience among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in Iraq. Policymakers and healthcare providers are recommended to integrate psychosocial support and resilience-building interventions into oncology care to improve sleep quality and overall wellbeing in this vulnerable population.
