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
Impacts caused by cancer and associated treatment may change with time. The objective of this study is to examine the change trajectory of symptom distress, coping strategies, and spiritual wellbeing in colorectal cancer patients during chemotherapy and to further examine the predictors of spiritual wellbeing. A prospective longitudinal repeated measures study design was employed. A total of 97 patients undergoing chemotherapy for the first time were enrolled. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data at three timepoints, which were before chemotherapy (T0), during chemotherapy (T1: 3 months after T0), and after chemotherapy (T2: 6 months after T0). The results of this study show that patients have significantly lower spiritual wellbeing and significantly higher symptom distress during chemotherapy treatment (T1). Family support (
