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
Background: The involvement of radiation therapists (RTTs) in providing supportive care for patients facing sexual health challenges during radiotherapy for prostate cancer remains inconsistent in radiation therapy settings and under-researched in the South African context. Aim: The aim was to develop a model framework to support the facilitation of men's sexual health for patients with prostate cancer by leveraging the role of RTTs. Setting: This study was conducted in the radiation therapy departments of two academic hospitals in Gauteng, South Africa. Methods: A theory-generating design consisting of four steps was used to develop the model framework: (1) identifying, defining and classifying the central concepts, (2) constructing relationship statements, (3) describing the model and (4) evaluating the model. Results: The central concept drawn from the empirical findings is the Conclusion: The model framework has the potential to improve the inclusion of conversations by RTTs on sexual health as part of routine care for patients receiving radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Contribution: This article presents a model to promote patient counselling practices for RTTs that involve supportive care for men's sexual health.
