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
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of tele-rehabilitation in granting access to physical therapy for breast cancer patients. To mitigate the adverse effects of chemotherapy, Jacobson's relaxation techniques can be performed from the comfort and safety of patients' homes. The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of relaxation exercises delivered via tele-rehabilitation in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Method: A total of 64 patients, were randomly allocated to the exercise group ( Results: The study was finally completed with 52 participants, 26 in each group. The exercise group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in pain (all subscales Discussion: The effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based progressive relaxation exercises in improving the pain, quality of life, cognitive status, sleep quality, anxiety-depression, and fatigue levels experienced by breast cancer patients undergoing taxane chemotherapy has been demonstrated in this study.
