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 was conducted to evaluate the level of hope and adherence to medication in women with breast cancer in the presence of another chronic disease.
methodsThe cross-sectional study was conducted in March-August 2022 with women with breast cancer with (CVD group) and without (Non-CVD group) cardiovascular disease as a chronic disease. Data were collected with the 'Individual Information Form', 'Herth Hope Scale' and 'Medication Adherence and Prescription Writing Scale'. Independent Sample T-test, Mann Whitney U Test, Chi-Square Test and Correlation Analysis were used to analyze the data.
resultsAdherence to medication levels of the patients were higher with a mean score of 8.55 ± 2.16 in the CVD group and 8.33 ± 2.14 in the Non-CVD group and there was no difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). When the hope levels of the patients were evaluated; the hope level of the CVD group was 69.57 ± 9.58 and the hope level of the Non-CVD group was 74.96 ± 7.98. The hope level of the CVD group was lower than that of the Non-CVD group (p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.61).
conclusionIn women, the presence of a chronic (cardiovascular) disease in addition to breast cancer does not affect medication adherence but negatively affects the level of hope.
