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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the level of preparedness for natural disasters among clinical practitioners who are members of the Japanese Society of Cancer Nursing and identify essential key elements of oncology nursing associated with disaster preparedness. Methods: A cross-sectional, web-based survey was conducted via email invitation targeting full members of the Japanese Society of Cancer Nursing between November 22, 2024, and January 10, 2025. Forced-entry multiple linear regression analysis was performed with disaster preparedness as the dependent variable. Results: Of the 5303 members invited, 149 were included in the analysis. Sufficient preparedness was observed in areas such as awareness of potential disruptions to cancer treatment and nursing care during disasters. Conversely, communication strategies during disasters, stockpiling of essential supplies, and knowledge of governmental support systems were identified as areas of insufficient preparedness. Overall disaster preparedness was significantly influenced by the level of institutional disaster preparedness. Significant regression models were developed for 8 of the 17 preparedness items, with institutional disaster preparedness emerging as the strongest predictor for all 8 items. Additionally, the large-scale earthquakes and the possibility of future earthquakes were also predictive factors. Conclusions: Oncology nurses recognized the risk of interruptions to treatment and nursing care during disasters; however, their knowledge of disaster preparedness and available support systems was insufficient. Their level of preparedness was associated with their institution's disaster preparedness, prior experience with large-scale earthquakes, and exposure to potential disasters such as earthquakes. To ensure effective preparation for future disasters, oncology nurses must enhance their understanding of disaster risks and strengthen organizational preparedness.
