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
aimWe aimed to understand how information was delivered to head and neck (H&N) cancer patients and describe the perceptions of the H&N patients concerning information delivery. METHODOLOGY: This qualitative investigation was a part of our larger quantitative study that was conducted with H&N cancer patients at two academic hospitals in Montreal. After obtaining the ethical approval, a purposeful sample of participants was recruited from the main study until the content of the information gathered reached saturation. Data were collected by observing the information delivery and interviewing the study participants and Nurse Pivots. All observations and interviews were audiotaped. Data were transcribed verbatim; transcripts were developed, audited, and subjected to a thematic analysis.
resultsEleven H&N patients participated in the study. We found that the doctors were the main source of information at both hospitals; one hospital delivered information systematically to every patient using a multimedia-based information disseminating tool while the second hospital delivered information verbally in an ad hoc manner. Those who received information using the multimedia tool understood what was said to them and were better prepared for the next step, while those who received information verbally did not retain much, were confused, and expressed dissatisfaction.
conclusionsAlthough the doctors were the main source of information, patients experience difficulties in understanding what was said to them. Comprehensive information together with audiovisuals, when provided to H&N cancer patients based on their needs, seems to improve their understanding of their cancer and prepare them for their treatment.
