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
Chemotherapy is a commonly used cancer treatment. However, it causes physical side effects and psychological side effects such as distress. Providing prechemotherapy education using audiovisual methods can reduce distress, but not all research about the use of educational videos have the same conclusions. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of prechemotherapy education using audio visual methods on distress of patients with cancer. This study was a quasi-experiment using pre-test and posttest design with a control group. Eighty-two cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy for the first time were divided into 2 groups with forty-one patients in the control group and forty-one patients in the intervention group. Patients in the control group received education with a booklet (usual care), while the intervention group received prechemotherapy education using audio visual materials. Patients completed a distress thermometer before and 1-2 weeks after chemotherapy. The analysis used the Wilcoxon test in each group before and 1-2 weeks after prechemotherapy education. The Mann-Whitney tests were used to determine the difference in distress scores between the two groups. Statistical significance was defined as p value < 0.05. The effect of prechemotherapy education in each group was in the control group (p = 0.004) and the intervention group (p = 0.000). The control group had a mean decrease of 1.69 points, and the intervention group had a mean decrease of 1.29 points. There was a significant difference of distress between control group and intervention group with a p value of 0.037. The conclusion is the prechemotherapy education using audio visual method can reduce distress in patients with cancer in addition to the usual method.
