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
backgroundCancer patients with mental disorders suffer from a decreased quality of life (QoL) and are in need of appropriate treatment.
methodsA total of 99 cancer patients were interviewed during surgical inpatient treatment with a structured clinical interview for diagnosis of mental disorders (SCID). The QoL and distress were examined prospectively using the validated questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30 and HADS. Patient psychological well-being and the need for psycho-oncological treatment were assessed by 31 doctors and 41 nurses.
resultsOf the patients 19% were diagnosed with having a mental disorder and in 10% immediate treatment was deemed necessary. This was identified by doctors and nurses in 38-60% and by HADS in 78% of the cases. The QoL of patients with psychiatric comorbidities was diminished 6 months after surgery, while patients without comorbidities recovered significantly better.
conclusionOf the visceral surgery cancer patients studied 10% had a relevant mental disorder. To prevent symptoms becoming chronic they should be detected and treated early and efficiently.
