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
Introduction This study was done to estimate the level of knowledge and attitude about the multimodality treatment (MMT) of breast cancer among the newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and accompanying attendants. Apart from the lack of knowledge, it is equally important to consider their accompanying attendant's knowledge, which changes the patient's attitude. Methodology This was a cross-sectional analytic study, including all newly diagnosed breast cancer patients of age above 18 years. The initial questionnaire one (Q1) was about their overall knowledge of carcinoma breast treatment options. Subsequent questionnaire two (Q2) were asked about MMT for breast cancer at eliciting their attitudes about MMT. After explaining about MMT for breast cancer, they were asked to indicate if they had a positive/negative attitude about MMT by questionnaire three (Q3). Results A total of 84 patients was included in the study. The results indicate a significant association between the relation of the attendant to the patient and their level of knowledge of MMT (p<0.001). Approximately 62% of study patients preferred a passive role in making their treatment decisions of MMT, with nearly 26.2% preferring their treating doctor to make all decisions while 36.7% preferred decisions by accompanying attendants. None of the patients had a negative attitude about MMT. Conclusion The treating surgeon should analyse the patient's knowledge of MMT and their attitude toward involving their accompanying attendants in making MMT decisions. It is necessary to administer adequate knowledge regarding MMT and discuss the various treatment options for breast cancer with the ailing patient, along with the accompanying attendants.
