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
objectiveIn the phase of diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer cases, patients can usually experience sexual dysfunctions, sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. The main objective of our research is to study of the pre-treatment and post-treatment anxiety, depression, sleep and sexual function levels in the patients with breast cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsFifty-six patients with breast cancer and 52 healthy women have participated in our study. In order to determine the anxiety, depression, sleep and sexual function levels, Sociodemographic and Clinical Data Form, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale (PSQI) and Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) scores are utilized at pre-treatment and post-treatment phases for patients with breast cancer and our control group.
resultsAccording to scale scores applied to patients and control group, it has been determined that patients with breast cancer HADS sexual and sleep disorders, that their HADS and PSQI scores were higher and that ASEX scores decreased significantly (p<0.05). According to the scale scores calculated before and after treatment, there was a significant decrease in HADS and PSQI scores, whereas SEX scores have been increased significantly (p<0.05).
conclusionAccording to the findings of our study, anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunction and sleep disorders in patients with breast cancer are far more explicit in the pre-treatment phase than post-treatment phase. Therefore, it is crucial to psycho-socially support patients with breast cancer in the early periods before starting the treatment after diagnosis.
