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
introductionCancelling elective procedures on the day of surgery presents a constant problem in all higher-level medical facilities, and the research of causes, consequences and possible solutions is the duty of every facility in order to enhance the quality of healthcare services.
methodsThis prospective study included all patients that were scheduled for surgery from March 2016 to November 2018 in the operating rooms at our Department of Surgery, including both performed and cancelled cases. Cases by different surgical departments (general surgery, gynecology, orthopedics, urology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology) were all included.
resultsOut of 8201 planned elective procedures from March 2016 to November 2018 at the General Hospital "Abdulah Nakas", 7825 cases were performed and 376 cases (4.58%) were cancelled on the day of surgery. The most common reasons for cancelling a surgical procedure on the day of surgery were: lack of time to perform surgery, (33.51%), surgery cancelled due to medical/anesthetic reasons, (31.38%), surgical procedure cancelled by the surgeon on the day of surgery, (11.97%).
conclusionThis study has shown that the percentage of elective cases cancelled on the day of surgery at our institution stands at an acceptable 4.58%. The most common reasons for case cancellation on the day of surgery were identified. The majority of reasons for cancellation were avoidable, which means that appropriate steps could contribute to lowering the percentage of cancelled elective cases and an improved quality of healthcare services.
