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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the association of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with financial burden among patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in China.
methodsThe data used for the analyses came from a nationwide survey to investigate the health status of patients with lymphomas in China. The EQ-5D and EORTC QLQ-C30 were used to assess the patients' HRQoL. The financial burden was calculated using both subjective and objective methods. The chi-squared test, Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance, ordinal least squared model, and Tobit regression model were used to estimate the relationship between financial burden and HRQoL.
resultsData from 1549 patients who reported living with 11 subtypes of NHL were elicited for our analysis. Approximately 60% of respondents reported suffering moderate to high financial burdens. A significant relationship between increased financial burden and reduced HRQoL scores, including the EQ-Index, physical, emotional, and social functioning, was identified. Compared with using an objective method to measure financial burden, patients with NHL indicated a poorer HRQoL when using a subjective method to measure financial burden.
conclusionMedical professionals should select highly cost-effective treatments and ensure that patients understand the potential financial consequences of those treatments.
