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
Background: Cancer during the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed, leading to challenges in the management of the two serious health conditions of cancer and COVID-19. This study was conducted to explore the experiences of cancer care among hospitalized patients with cancer and oncology nurses in the COVID-19 pandemic environment. Materials and Methods: This descriptive qualitative study included interviews with patients with cancer and oncology nurses. Observations and field notes were recorded. In this study, we purposively recruited 11 patients and 10 oncology nurses from a tertiary referral hospital affiliated with the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, northwest Iran. Face-to-face interviews were conducted between June and July 2021. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, open-coded, and analyzed thematically. All these steps were managed using MAXQDA 10. Results: Three themes were generated regarding patients' and nurses' experiences of cancer care during the COVID-19 pandemic: 1) feeling scared and neglected, 2) appearance of fundamental changes in all aspects of life, and 3) facing challenges beyond routine cancer care. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the experiences of a "vulnerable" population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the experiences of patients with cancer and frontline healthcare providers during this unprecedented time of COVID-19 can help provide guidance and support for health policymakers in evidence-informed decision-making for cancer care beyond the COVID-19 pandemic era.
