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
backgroundPatients diagnosed with cancer and who undergo cancer treatment are at potential risk of bone marrow suppression leading to prolonged hospitalization, delay in treatment, and chemotherapy dose reductions, which ultimately results in significant morbidity and mortality. This sequential exploratory study using a mixed-method approach was aimed to develop and validate a neutropenic nursing care (NNC) bundle for neutropenic patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital, Uttarakhand. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis sequential exploratory study design with an instrument developmental model was used to develop the NNC bundle. It consisted of two phases: Qualitative phase and quantitative phase. In the qualitative phase, focused group discussion with eight oncology nurses was performed to derive themes related to neutropenic nursing care using conventional content analysis. An extensive literature review was also performed on these themes to explore the current pieces of evidence for item pool generation. In the quantitative phase, a preliminary draft bundle was developed, and two Delphi rounds (I and II) were carried out among the five experts for the content validation of the NNC bundle and a final bundle was developed.
resultsMajor domains identified for the bundle were hand hygiene, care of central and peripheral lines, routine oral care, antiseptic bath, peri-anal care, diet, and environmental hygiene. The content validity index (CVI) of the bundle was found to be >80% for all the items with I-CVI >0.8 and S-CVI = 0.99 after conducting two rounds of Delphi.
conclusionThe present study has provided a set of valid written neutropenic nursing interventions to prevent complications in neutropenic patients. The NNC bundle should be subjected to other levels of evaluation that measure the bundle's practicability and suitability for the intended field.
