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
backgroundThe appropriate timing of introducing the home-based nursing service to patients with advanced cancer has not been clarified. This study conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the associations of the early utilization of the home-based nursing service during chemotherapy with the place of care immediately after the last chemotherapy treatment in patients with advanced cancer.
methodsAmong the patients referred to the palliative care team of the University of Tsukuba Hospital between January 2018 and December 2019, patients with advanced cancer undergoing chemotherapy or before the start of chemotherapy at referral were included. The study patients who utilized the home-based nursing service during chemotherapy were classified into the early utilization group. The primary endpoint was the place of care immediately after the last chemotherapy treatment.
resultsOf the 1154 patients referred to the palliative care team during the study period, 261 were eligible for this study. Of these patients, 15.3% of patients (n = 40) received the home-based nursing service during chemotherapy. The proportion of patients transferred to home care after the last chemotherapy treatment was 17.5% in the early utilization group and 7.2% in the control group. The multivariate analysis revealed that the early utilization of the home-based nursing service during chemotherapy was significantly associated with the transfer to home care (odds ratio = 3.077; 95% confidence interval, 1.113-8.502).
conclusionThe early utilization of the home-based nursing service during chemotherapy might be associated with the transfer to home care immediately after the last chemotherapy treatment.
