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
Objective: To evaluate the effect of comfort care on postoperative quality of life, psychological status, and satisfaction of pancreatic cancer patients. Methods: From June 2019 to March 2021, 136 pancreatic cancer patients undergoing pancreatectomy in Hai'an People's Hospital were recruited and randomly assigned via the random number table method at a ratio of 1 : 1 to receive either conventional care (control group) or comfort care (study group), with 68 cases in each group. Results: Before the intervention, the two groups had similar visual analog scale (VAS) scores, the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores, and psychological status scores. The study group resulted in a significantly lower VAS score than the control group. The study group required a lower dose of analgesics than the control group. After the intervention, the study group showed significantly higher scores in social functioning, role emotional, mental health, role physical, and bodily pain than the control group. The study group had significantly lower Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores than the control group. The study group showed a significantly lower incidence of complications and a higher satisfaction rate than the control group. Conclusion: Comfort care effectively alleviates the pain of patients after pancreatectomy, reduces the incidence of complications, and improves their quality of life, psychological status, and satisfaction, so it is worthy of clinical application.
