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
introductionProstate cancer, the most common male cancer in the United Kingdom, disproportionately affects Black men and deprived communities, where early diagnosis is critical to reducing mortality. The Man Van, a mobile outreach service, targets these high-risk groups to improve access to prostate cancer testing. The Man Van was developed to address health inequalities and other barriers to healthcare that affect prostate cancer and men's health more generally. As a novel clinical model, measuring the patients' perspectives of its quality and acceptability is relevant when evaluating its effectiveness.
methodsTo facilitate evaluation of the effectiveness of the Man Van project, a novel patient questionnaire was developed using a three-stage approach: (1) identification of domains and evaluation of existing evidence, (2) discussion groups followed by a modified virtual Delphi approach to refine themes and develop questions and (3) a real-world evaluation to finalise the questionnaire. Virtual discussions and asynchronous feedback facilitated stakeholder input.
resultsTwo broad areas of acceptability and quality were identified, which were synthesised into 9 domains, linked to 15 themes to measure patients' perspectives on the Man Van. The final 17-item questionnaire follows the patient journey from service awareness to discharge, with socio-demographic data sourced from the Man Van database.
conclusionsThis study produced the first evidence-based questionnaire for evaluating a mobile prostate cancer outreach service, highlighting that a well-defined service with good communication is key to establishing and maintaining quality and acceptability with patients. The tool offers a framework for evaluating and scaling similar interventions, which can be used by policymakers as a foundation for scaling up similar services.
