Article in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Objective: The present study aimed to examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on fatigue interference and health-related quality of life in patients with advanced lung cancer. Methods: In a single-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial, 40 patients with advanced lung cancer were randomized to either the intervention group, which received the four-session individual ACT in 4 weeks, or the control group, which received usual care. The outcomes were evaluated at baseline and one week postintervention. Results: Intervention feasibility and acceptability were established with a high attendance rate of 88.75% and a high retention rate of 75%. Approximately 95% of the participants reported satisfaction with the intervention. Despite the insignificant effects on fatigue interference, statistically significant interactions effects of ACT for health-related quality of life ( Conclusions: This pilot trial supports the feasibility and acceptability of conducting ACT for patients with advanced lung cancer. The findings show the potential positive effects of ACT on health-related quality of life. Future studies with full-scale samples are recommended to evaluate the long-term effects of ACT on fatigue interference.
