Article in Materia socio-medica, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
introductionThe management of chemotherapy in the hospital environment has been associated with increased risk of exposure to harmful factors. The use of the designated protective area and equipment during the preparation and the administration of chemotherapy is considered the gold standard of prevention.
aimThe aim of the study was to assess nurse's behavior in one public and one private hospital during the management of chemotherapy.
methodsA cross sectional study design, using a self-completing questionnaire was used to collect the data, the final sample consisted of n=82 nurses, employed in the oncology and haematology department of Limassol general hospital and the bank of Cyprus oncology center.
resultsMost of the sample had a positive attitude towards the management and preparation of chemotherapy and kept the personal protection measures 52,4%. Inadequate aeration system was found to exist in both the health care centers 17,1%. The knowledge levels of the nurses employed in the bank of Cyprus oncology center was found to be statistically higher than the nurses employed in Limassol general hospital (84,4% Vs 23,4%, p<0,001).
conclusionEducational programs need to be designed and implement to update nurses with the latest safety techniques and procedures, aiming at the protection of the employees from side effects as a result from the exposure to chemotherapy. The management of the healthcare institution need to ensure that the workplace environment fulfils all the safety standards and health regulations regarding the preparation of chemotherapy. Lastly more studies need to be conducted to monitor the knowledge and attitudes levels, and the implementation of safety and health regulation from the health care organizations regarding the safe management and preparation of chemotherapy.
