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: Providing supportive care to cancer patients can improve their quality of life (QOL). The present study aimed to determine the met and unmet supportive care needs of young women with breast cancer and their relation with their QOL. Methods: In this cross-sectional correlational study, 275 women under 50 years old with breast cancer under chemotherapy who were selected by a convenience sampling method in 2020-2021 at Tabriz, Iran, participated. Data were collected by questionnaires and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics by SPSS software version 13. Results: The mean (SD) score of supportive care needs was 87.25(23.27). The most common unmet needs among patients were psychological needs. The mean (SD) scores of QOL in the functional and symptom domains were 36.21(4.23) and 41.91(6.57), respectively. Total supportive care needs had a significant and negative relationship with the functional areas of QOL in both the EORTC QLQ-C30.V.3 (r=0.15, Conclusion: Patients with breast cancer require a variety of supportive care during treatment. Supportive care programs, particularly during chemotherapy or hormone therapy, are essential for reducing patients' unmet needs and improving their QOL.
