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
Colorectal cancer is a growing global health concern with complex pharmacotherapy, especially as oral anticancer drugs shift responsibility for adherence to patients. This study explores the experiences of colorectal cancer patients in medication counselling in hospitals and community pharmacies. A qualitative study was conducted through semistructured individual interviews with patients with colorectal cancer (N = 21) from a university hospital. Inductive content analysis was performed using ATLAS.ti software, identifying key categories and subcategories. The following five main themes emerged: sufficiency of counselling; medication reconciliation; management of anticancer medication-related problems; instructions for contacting healthcare; and instructions for medication use. Patients reported varied experiences. Some felt well-informed and confident, while others found counselling insufficient and needed more support. Discrepancies in medication reconciliation were raised, particularly regarding nutritional and herbal products. The pharmacy's role in medication risk management was highlighted, with some patients' medications adjusted based on pharmacy consultation. While side effect management was generally addressed, some patients wanted more detailed information. Challenges in accessing counselling were highlighted, especially during weekends. Medication counselling for colorectal cancer patients should be more consistent across healthcare settings. Strengthening the role of pharmacies and enhancing collaboration and information flow between hospitals and pharmacies is crucial for achieving better patient outcomes.
