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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the feasibility of nurse-led consultations based on ePRO for women with endometrial or ovarian cancer receiving chemotherapy.
methodsThis was a prospective single-cohort feasibility study. The patients responded to weekly ePRO using the Elekta Kaiku platform, which was adapted to Danish. At selected time points during chemotherapy, nurses conducted nurse-led consultations replacing physicians. The primary outcome was the patient completion rate of ePRO reporting in the Elekta Kaiku platform. Secondary outcomes included assessing safety, acceptability, practicability, usability, patient satisfaction with ePRO, and patient symptom burden.
resultsTwenty patients were included, with a mean age of 59 years. A total of 320 ePRO reports were received, equivalent to an ePRO response of 18 times per patient during six cycles of chemotherapy. The results showed a high weekly completion rate (87%), high patient satisfaction with ePRO, and a continuous high symptom burden. Nurse-led consultations achieved a success rate of 55% in adhering to scheduled appointments. The primary contributing factors to this issue were the inadequate internal workflows and the complex symptom burden experienced by the patients.
conclusionThis study indicates that weekly ePRO reporting in conjunction with nurse-led consultations may be feasible in this population. The use of ePRO revealed a high level of symptoms reported by patients throughout the treatment cycles. The results emphasize the importance of clinicians in proactively and systematically intervening at an early stage to prevent symptom escalation. However, the small sample size limits the generalizability of this study.
