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
backgroundSocial support has an important role in improving health outcomes and is considered as one of the crucial aspects of the modern care in cancer patients. Therefore, this article aims to explain the perceived experiences of women suffering from breast cancer towards social support.
methodsIn this qualitative study, 22 women with breast cancer were selected through purposive sampling from 5 hospitals affiliated to Urmia University of Medical Sciences. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed by the Conventional Qualitative Content Analysis and Graneheim's and Lundman's approach, using MAXQDA software, version 10.
resultsAfter completion of the analyzing process, 6 categories were appeared including "creating an empathic atmosphere by family and community," "being in relationship with others," "adaption to disease," "giving meaning to life," "satisfaction with the role of healthcare providers," and "the impact of others support in fighting with the disease."
conclusionAccording to the findings, good social support during the illness can result in the spiritual, mental, and physical well-being of the patients and is one of the most effective factors in fighting the disease and feeling of recovery. The findings of this study can be used to develop plans to help the patients to achieve more support from the family, healthcare providers, and the community and even providing the required supportive care for this group of women.
