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

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of web-based education on the anxiety and quality of life of patients who were hospitalized and underwent breast surgery (modified radical mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery) with axilla lymph node dissection. The patients were divided into three groups by the block randomization method as follows: web-based education group, brochure group, and control group (total N = 75). To obtain the study data, the Risk Factors for Breast Cancer and Data Collection Form for the Disease, SF 36 Quality of Life Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Website Usability Scale were used. The learning content was patient education associated with the pre-operative and post-operative periods. The differences in the state of anxiety scores 1 day before surgery, the 2nd day after surgery, and 1 month after surgery were statistically lower in the web-based education group than in the other two groups. The mean difference in the trait anxiety scores after 1 month was higher in the control group than in the other two groups. Web-based patient education was identified as a more effective method than the brochure and control groups in terms of patients' physical and emotional well-being, vitality/fatigue, and role limitations emotional and general health perception. Web-based patient education is effective in decreasing the anxiety of patients and improving their quality of life.
