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.

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
Purpose: There is an increase in the number of men undergoing screening for prostate cancer, and advancements in treatments, which implies current knowledge about symptoms and self-management. This study aims to explore experiences of symptom distress, and self-management strategies during the first year after curatively intended treatment for prostate cancer, as identified by patients and health care professionals. Methods: A qualitative design was used, including data triangulation from individual interviews with patients (n =17) and one focus group interview with healthcare professionals (n =5). Thematic analysis was used. Results: The two main themes were identified: Conclusion: Lingering symptoms and concerns were evident during the first year after treatment. Self-management strategies varied, and timely and tailored information and support during the first year were considered highly valued, important, and preferred by patients. Our results indicate that support should be offered immediately after curatively intended treatment.
