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
purposeTo estimate the association between a previous cancer diagnosis and healthcare use during the COVID-19 pandemic among Europeans and Israelis individuals.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was based on data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), including the SHARE COVID-19 Survey, which was conducted in the summer of 2020, in 27 countries. Cancer survivors (CS, n = 6409) were country-, sex-, age-, and education-matched (1:2) to non-cancer individuals (NC). Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were computed using logistic regression.
resultsOverall, CS were more likely to refer that they forwent medical appointments due to fear of COVID-19 (OR = 1.29, 95%CI 1.19-1.41) than NC, particularly those who lived with their partner and other relatives (OR = 1.79, 95%CI 1.39-2.30). Likewise, CS had their medical appointments postponed more often (OR = 1.54, 95%CI 1.44-1.64); this association was stronger among CS who lived with their partner and other relatives (OR = 1.96, 95%CI 1.63-2.36) who reported higher economic difficulties (OR = 1.73, 95%CI 1.50-2.00) and those with no multimorbidity (OR = 1.85, 95%CI 1.62-2.11). CS were also more likely to refer that they were unable to book an appointment (OR = 1.43, 95%CI 1.26-1.63), particularly those who reported that a person close to them died due to COVID-19 (OR = 2.72, 95%CI 1.47-5.01).
conclusionCS were more likely to forgo medical treatment, report healthcare postponements, and be unable to book an appointment than NC, which highlights the importance of closely monitoring the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic along the cancer care continuum.
