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
backgroundChemotherapy-related symptom burden and psychological distress may significantly influence patients' perceptions of treatment convenience and satisfaction, yet evidence in the Greek oncology population remains limited.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in a tertiary hospital. Data were collected using CCSQ, ESAS-r, PHQ-2, GAD-2, and WHO-5. Pearson correlations and multiple linear regression analyses were performed.
resultsHigher levels of depressive symptoms and anxiety were significantly associated with lower chemotherapy convenience and satisfaction (e.g., PHQ-2: r = -0.659 to -0.584,
conclusionsChemotherapy experience is strongly associated with psychological and symptom burden. These findings highlight the importance of integrating psychosocial assessment into routine oncology care.
