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
purposeHaving a child with cancer can profoundly impact parents' health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However, there is a lack of knowledge about the long-term effects of childhood cancer on parents' well-being. The current study aimed to (1) describe the HRQOL of parents of long-term childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and compare it with that of parents from the general population in Switzerland, and (2) investigate sociodemographic and cancer-related determinants of lower HRQOL in parents of CCS.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, a total of 751 parents of CCS (mean time since diagnosis = 23.7 years, SD = 6.7 years) and 454 parents from the general population reported their HRQOL by completing the Short Form-36 (SF-36v2). Sociodemographic and cancer-related characteristics were also collected.
resultsMultilevel regression analyses showed that parents of CCS and parents from the general population had similar physical and mental HRQOL. When comparing mothers and fathers separately, there were no differences between the samples, except for higher HRQOL in the domain of physical functioning in mothers of CCS. Cancer-related characteristics were not associated with HRQOL in parents of CCS. Several sociodemographic characteristics such as being female, being from the French or Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, having a lower education, having a chronic condition, and having a migration background were associated with lower HRQOL.
conclusionParents of CCS are doing well a long time after their child's cancer diagnosis. Nevertheless, tailored support should be provided for at-risk demographic groups.
