1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionInternet-based interventions have become a necessity in providing care. To assess quality-of-life perceptions among women living with breast cancer (BC) receiving any type of internet-based treatments.

methodsThe present systematic review and meta-analysis were registered in PROSPERO with the ID no. CRD42024498834. All internet-based interventional studies among women living with BC assessing their quality of life perceptions before and after the intervention or between the usual and the intervention group were included. We consulted the British Nursing Database, CINHAL, Embase, Medline, Nursing & Allied Database, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Quality of life perceptions were assessed thanks to the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) and the EORTC-QLQ-core Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30).

resultsThe heterogeneity test findings of the eight studies exploring the FACT-B suggested that there was a significant heterogeneity among the selected studies (I

conclusionInternet-based interventions could ameliorate quality of life perceptions since most of the enrolled participants revealed as complicated the home community management allowing regular participation.
