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
Background: Death literacy-defined as the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enable individuals to understand, communicate, and act effectively on issues related to death, dying, and bereavement-plays an important role in cancer patients' psychological regulation and coping behaviors. However, empirical evidence linking death literacy to self-management behaviors in gastric cancer patients remains limited. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design and used convenience sampling to recruit 501 gastric cancer patients from three tertiary Grade A hospitals in Zhejiang Province between August and September 2025. All participants completed the Death Literacy Scale, Self-Management Scale, Psychological Adaptation Scale, and Cognitive Reappraisal Scale. Process Model 6 was used to analyze the chain mediating effects of psychological adaptation and cognitive reappraisal. Results: Death literacy was positively correlated with self-management behaviors ( Conclusions: Death literacy functions as a positive psychological resource contributing to adaptive coping and health management among gastric cancer patients. Strengthening patients' understanding and acceptance of death may improve psychological adaptation and cognitive reappraisal, ultimately fostering better self-management and quality of life.
