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
Due to the increasing complexity of cancer chemotherapy and its associated supportive care, the role of clinical pharmacists in cancer chemotherapy is becoming increasingly more important. The present study evaluated the clinical interventions of a single pharmacist on the adverse events in hospitalized patients with thoracic cancer receiving cancer chemotherapy. A single-center, retrospective study was conducted at the 614-bed, tertiary care Gifu University Hospital. Hospitalized patients with thoracic cancer who received cancer chemotherapy in the respiratory medicine ward between April 2013 and May 2014 were enrolled. One of the two clinical pharmacists in charge was based in the respiratory medicine ward and implemented pharmaceutical care for the patients, including management of adverse events. Patient data were recorded in the electronic medical chart and retrospectively analyzed. A total of 445 patients with thoracic cancer received cancer chemotherapy in the respiratory medicine ward. A total of 152 interventions (101 patients) were performed by the clinical pharmacist prior to the administration of cancer chemotherapy, half of which comprised the addition of drugs to prevent adverse events. A total of 190 patients (39.4%) experienced grade ≥2 non-hematological or grade ≥3 hematological adverse events associated with cancer chemotherapy, and 223 medical interventions for relief of adverse events lowered the incidence of grade ≥2 non-hematological or grade ≥3 hematological adverse events to 17.8%. Of these, 45.3 and 7.5% of medical interventions for non-hematological and hematological adverse events, respectively, were implemented based on the pharmacist's recommendations. These findings revealed the marked contribution of a single clinical pharmacist in the respiratory medicine ward to the prevention and relief of adverse events in hospitalized patients with thoracic cancer receiving cancer chemotherapy.
