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.

Abstract
backgroundDistress impacts the daily life of glioma patients. This study explored its course over time and the usage of psychosocial care.
methodsA consecutive sample of glioma patients completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale to assess distress levels at admission to the hospital (t1), before discharge (t2), after 3 months (t3), and after 6 months (t4). They were interviewed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV to ascertain psychiatric disorders at t2. Psycho-oncological care in the hospital was determined with the Hospital Information System, and the use of outpatient treatment was evaluated with the Health Care Usage Questionnaire at t4. We compared the percentages of elevated distress, psychiatric co-morbidity, and care usage between men and women.
resultsDuring the study period, 37 patients were enrolled. Nineteen percent of the patients were diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. The percentages of patients with elevated distress were 56, 59, 39, and 40% at t1, t2, t3, and t4, respectively. Participants who did not survive the 6 months presented with higher levels of distress. In the hospital, 14% of those with elevated distress were visited by a psycho-oncologist. In the outpatient setting, 43% of those with elevated distress visited a neuro-psychiatrist, and 14% went to a psychotherapist. There was no evidence for an effect of gender on psychiatric co-morbidity, distress, or care use.
conclusionsA significant proportion of glioma patients report elevated distress during the hospital stay and thereafter. Only a fraction of them receive mental health care.
