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
backgroundProstate cancer (PC) often impacts 4 major aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQL): urinary, sexual, and bowel dysfunction, and anxiety. Online tools may be helpful in supporting the development of self-management skills that can improve HRQL.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to develop and pilot-test an online symptom monitoring and self-management program, iManage-PC.
methodsA literature search, input from experts, and feedback from patients were used to develop iManage-PC. A 4-week, single-arm pilot study was conducted with 96 men with prostate cancer. We evaluated system usability, acceptance, and satisfaction and examined preliminary effects on patient-reported outcomes.
resultsRates of retention (94.8%) and adherence to symptom monitoring (95.0%-97.0%) were high. Most participants rated the tool as satisfactory and acceptable (81.2%-94.3%). Related-samples Wilcoxon signed rank tests revealed that participants reported increased self-efficacy related to their ability to manage their adverse effects (T = 1772.0, P < .001, r = 0.39), physical discomfort (T = 1259.0, P < .001, r = 0.40), and stress and worry (T = 1108.5, P = .001, r = 0.34). Global mental and physical health also improved (T = 1322.0, P = .032, r = 0.23, and T = 1409.0, P = .001, r = 0.35, respectively).
conclusionsFuture research with such tools should examine the potential role of cut-score-derived management interventions to improve engagement, symptom management self-efficacy, and HRQL. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Our findings are consistent with a growing body of literature that supports the feasibility and acceptability of remotely delivered interventions.
