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

Objective: To explore the association between social support and demoralization and how resourcefulness and resilience mediate this relationship. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 343 gynecological cancer patients in three hospitals in Hunan Province, China, from October 2024 to March 2025. The Social Support Scale, Demoralization Scale, Resourcefulness Scale, and Resilience Scale were used to collect data. Data analysis was conducted via descriptive statistical analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, and regression analysis to estimate direct and indirect effects via bootstrap analysis. Results: Social support was positively correlated with resourcefulness ( Conclusions: We proved that resourcefulness and resilience mediated some of the effects of social support on demoralization. The findings of this study have implications for interventions to promote the social support of gynecological cancer patients and, in particular, to enhance resourcefulness and resilience.
