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
purposeThe purpose of the study is to examine the course of anxiety, depression and unmet needs in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and multiple myeloma (MM) survivors in the first 2 years post diagnosis.
methodsDLBCL and MM survivors, recruited through the Victorian Cancer Registry, completed two interviews approximately 7 and 15 months post diagnosis. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF34) were completed at both interviews. Primary outcomes were prevalence of anxiety, depression and unmet needs (any or moderate-high). Generalized estimating equation examined whether course of anxiety, depression and unmet needs differed between the two cancers.
resultsOverall, 236 DLBCL and 178 MM survivors completed both telephone interviews. Course of anxiety differed (p < 0.01) with rate increasing in DLBCL (14 to 22%) while remaining stable for MM (15 to 12%). Course of depression also differed (p < 0.01), decreasing for MM (22 to 12%) and remaining stable for DLBCL (15 to 16%) survivors. Change in unmet needs was generally similar for the two cancer groups, except for moderate to high psychological needs (p < 0.05).
conclusionsPatterns of change in anxiety and depression in first 2 years post diagnosis differ for DLBCL and MM survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Studying psychological outcomes in mixed haematological cancer samples may be inappropriate, at least in the early survivorship phase. Separate studies of the experiences of people with the different haematological cancer subtypes are needed to ensure psychosocial and supportive care interventions are appropriate to the needs of individuals with different haematological cancers.
