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
objectivesThis research sought to explore the applicability of MCP within Aotearoa New Zealand. The objectives of this study were to investigate Indigenous patients' experiences of an MCP trial and Indigenous therapists' experiences of recruitment and MCP delivery within the trial.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 2 Indigenous patients with advanced cancer receiving MCP, 1 Indigenous support person, and 4 Indigenous health psychologists delivering MCP about their experience in the research trial. Participants were also asked their views on recruiting Indigenous populations into research trials, and on the applicability of MCP in Aotearoa New Zealand. Reflective thematic analysis was utilized to analyze interview transcripts.
resultsThis study showed that trust is central to recruiting Indigenous populations into research trials and contributed to the overall success of MCP delivery. Participants highlighted community trust and organizational mistrust as potential contributors toward recruitment challenges. Trust in the self, in others, and in culture was central to finding meaning through MCP. When conducted in a safe patient-centered therapeutic space, MCP concepts and meaning-making can integrate effectively into Te Ao Māori and an Indigenous context. SIGNIFICANCE OF
resultsMCP concepts and delivery may integrate well into a Te Ao Māori framework. Care should be taken in future delivery of MCP within Aotearoa New Zealand, ensuring the patient-focused nature of the therapeutic modality is maintained, and the patient's own connection with culture is the highest priority.
