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
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect on nausea and vomiting of structured education given to male lung cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. This quasi-experimental research study had pre- and post-tests control groups. The estimated sample size was at least 20 subjects per group. Data were collected in the chest diseases clinic and outpatient chemotherapy unit of a university hospital in Turkey. An education booklet and structured education were given 30 mins for each patient before chemotherapy. In post-test 1, nausea severity was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (mean difference - 2.50, 95% CI - 1.46 to - 0.17, d = 0.82, p = 0.05). This was also the case in post-test 2 (mean difference - 2.10, 95% CI - 1.50 to - 0.21, d = 0.85, p = 0.01). According to this, the sizes of Cohen's d effect were large (0.82 and 0.85 for post-test 1 and post-test 2 respectively). However, vomiting frequency did not differ significantly between the experimental group and the control group in either post-test 1 or post-test 2 (p > 0.05). Structured education given by nurses had a positive effect on the severity of nausea. Nurses may be able to raise nausea management in cancer patients to a better level by education intervention.
