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 characteristics of suicidal ideation among psycho-oncology outpatients remain unexplored. This study determined the prevalence and risk factors of suicidal ideation among patients in a psycho-oncology outpatient clinic. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe prevalence of suicidal ideation during the previous 2 weeks among 545 psycho-oncology outpatients aged 80 years or below was determined using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Item 9. Descriptive analyses, including the prevalence of suicidal ideation, were performed. After multiple imputation, multivariable logistic regression was performed using demographic and clinical variables and functional (the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General) and emotional status (the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the distress thermometer).
resultsThere were 252 (46.2%) suicidal ideators. After adjusting for sex and age, active disease [odds ratio (OR)=1.708, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.049-2.780], lower levels of physical (OR=0.948, 95% CI=0.905-0.992) and emotional well-being (OR=0.925, 95% CI=0.875-0.978), and higher degrees of depressive symptoms (OR=1.126, 95% CI=1.036-1.224) and psychological distress (OR=1.201, 95% CI=1.071-1.347) were associated with suicidal ideation.
conclusionApproximately half of the psycho-oncology outpatients experienced suicidal ideation, emphasizing the importance of identifying and understanding the risk factors of suicidal ideation specific to this group. For those who are under active cancer treatment, show poorer physical and emotional well-being, and report more severe depressive symptoms and psychological distress, a thorough evaluation of suicidal ideation needs to be performed.
