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
purposeThis review aimed to determine the prevalence of met and unmet needs, and the risk factors for unmet needs among people affected by gynaecological cancer.
methodsThe review was undertaken using the PRISMA guidelines. Eligible studies were identified though a range of electronic databases in October and November 2016. Study quality was independently appraised by two people.
resultsThirty-seven studies were included (1 review, 24 quantitative and 12 qualitative). The evidence was of mixed quality. The total burden of needs affecting women with gynaecological cancer and also their caregivers predominately related to comprehensive care and psychological concerns. The major moderate-to-high-level unmet needs of women with gynaecological cancer were for help explicitly with fear of recurrence, worries of caregivers and fatigue, and for women who developed lymphoedema were with pain and associated costs. Qualitative studies identified disease-specific needs related to sexuality issues (including fertility, sexual functioning, relationship concerns, managing vaginal changes, pregnancy care, premature menopause), genetic testing and disease-specific peer support. Women at risk of having unmet needs include those who are younger, with advanced disease, with lymphoedema or a high symptom burden, are unable to work, have mental health issues, have poor social support or live in rural or remote locations.
conclusionsUnderstanding the needs of women with gynaecological cancer and their caregivers is essential to improving care and outcomes. Current data are limited thus there is a need for qualitative studies of patient-caregiver dyad and vulnerable subgroups and well-designed quantitative studies of women with each type of gynaecological and their caregivers.
