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
purposeThe present study is a descriptive survey conducted to identify factors influencing supportive care needs of patients with multiple myeloma treated with chemotherapy.
methodsA structured questionnaire was provided to 141 patients with multiple myeloma who were treated as inpatients or outpatients at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital of the Catholic University of Korea. Data were analyzed with t test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, correlational analysis, and linear regression analysis using SPSS version 21.0.
resultsThe mean score of supportive care needs of patients with multiple myeloma was 1.51 out of 4 points. Of supportive care needs, information on future disease outcome scored the highest, with a mean score of 2.12, followed by easy and candid explanation by health care staff (2.11), and information on foods that are healthy for cancer patients (2.02). The mean score of disease-related knowledge was 0.52 of 1 point, and diagnostic test results scored the lowest among the subdomains of disease-related knowledge. The mean score of emotional state was 1.13 out of 3 points, mean anxiety score was 1.01 out of 3 points, and mean depression score was 1.26 out of 3 points. Anxiety and depression were identified as factors influencing supportive care needs of patients with multiple myeloma.
conclusionsThe present study demonstrated that the supportive care needs of patients with multiple myeloma are associated with their emotional state. The supportive care needs of patients with multiple myeloma should be identified at an individual level, and should be addressed to reduce anxiety and depression.
