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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of potential co-occurring symptoms, including fatigue, sleep disturbance, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and pain, on the incidence of postdischarge nausea (PDN) measured two days following discharge to home after surgery for breast cancer.
designThis study used a prospective, cross-sectional, observational design.
methodsThe sample was 334 women aged 27 to 88 years of age. Demographic data were collected from the patient and the medical record before surgery. Symptom data were collected 48 hours following surgery using the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement System (PROMIS) and numerical nausea and pain scales.
findingsEighty-five (25.4%) of study participants reported some nausea two days after discharge. Study participants who experienced PDN frequently described that it occurred after they left the hospital to drive home following their surgery. Unadjusted odds ratios showed the presence of co-occurring symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and pain were all significantly associated with the presence of nausea 48 hours following surgery. Other significant factors associated with (PDN) were history of motion sickness, history of pregnancy-induced nausea, use of opioids, and type of surgery.
conclusionsSame-day surgery nurses providing postoperative education for women following surgery for breast cancer should explain to patients that nausea may occur after they are discharged, especially those with known motion sickness. In addition, patients should be informed that other symptoms, especially fatigue, sleep disturbance, and anxiety, may co-occur.
