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
Context: With the increasing burden of cancer and the need for continuous patient monitoring, teleoncology has emerged as an innovative approach to improve healthcare delivery. However, its utilization in real-world settings, particularly in resource-limited regions, remains underexplored. Aims: This study aims to assess cancer patients' perceptions of teleoncology services, focusing on their acceptability, affordability, and accessibility. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional hospital-based study was carried out in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Methods and Material: This study was conducted from July 2024 to December 2024 using a semistructured questionnaire. Cancer patients utilizing teleoncology services for consultations, follow-ups, and disease monitoring were included. The Statistical Analysis Used: Collected data were analyzed (Descriptive and Inferential) using SPSS V.25. Results: A total of 125 patients participated in the study, with a nearly equal gender distribution (50.79% male, 49.21% female). The mean age of male and female respondents was 48.27 ± 14.53 years and 43.17 ± 14.39 years, respectively. Acceptability: 77% of patients reported using teleoncology not just for cancer care but also for other health conditions. The mean satisfaction score was 4.2, indicating high acceptance. Affordability: There was no significant difference in perceptions of affordability across gender, geography, or age groups ( Conclusions: Teleoncology is widely accepted due to its convenience and affordability, but challenges remain regarding 24/7 service availability and digital literacy. A hybrid model integrating teleoncology with periodic in-person visits could enhance patient experience. Imminent research should focus on long-term outcomes and strategies to improve teleoncology adoption among underserved populations.
