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
Breast cancer (BC) can negatively influence multiple facets of survivors' lives including mental health, quality of life (QoL), and dietary behavior. Logotherapy as a psycho-education program may help breast cancer survivors (BCSs) discover their meaning of life throughout distressful events. The present study aimed to determine the effects of logotherapy along with nutrition counseling on psychological status, QoL, and dietary intake among BCSs who were diagnosed with depression.This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 90 BCSs who scored ≥ 14 on Beck's depression test. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups to receive nutrition counseling plus logotherapy (n = 46) or nutrition counseling alone (n = 44) for 8 weeks. Primary outcomes (depression, anxiety, and QoL) and secondary outcomes (anthropometric indices, dietary intake, and eating disorder status) were measured at baseline and after 8 weeks.All dimensions of QoL, anthropometric measurements, and the compulsive eating scale improved significantly in both groups after 8 weeks. A combination of nutrition counseling and logotherapy resulted in a significant reduction in anxiety (P < 0.001) and depression (P < 0.001) scores compared with the nutrition counseling alone. In addition, participants who received logotherapy plus nutrition counseling significantly consumed less energy, carbohydrate, and fat intake after 8 weeks compared with the control group (P < 0.001).It can be concluded that logotherapy along with nutrition education would be an important step in improving anxiety, depression, and QoL of patients with BC who had depressive symptoms.Trial registration number: (IR.ACECR.IBCRC.REC.1396.17).
