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
purposeThe aim of the present study was to describe access to primary health care, adherence to preventive and surveillance recommendations, and the prevalence of late effects among long-term cancer survivors referred back to primary health care (PHC) after five years of treatment and follow-up at an Oncology High Complexity Care Center (CACON).
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the National Cancer Institute (INCA), in Brazil. Eligible participants were contacted by telephone and answered a structured questionnaire, with questions about sociodemographic data, lifestyle, and nutritional status, as well as on health promotion, prevention, and surveillance during the long-term cancer survivorship phase.
resultsNinety-one cancer survivors participated in the study, with an average age of 69 ± 9.24 years. The most commonly reported late sequelae included cognitive difficulties, hormonal symptoms, sleep-related disorders and chronic pain. Less than half of the study participants reported being referred to a PHC unit after cancer treatment. Receipt of a discharge summary to be presented to primary care providers was reported by only 11 participants (12.1%).
conclusionsThe specific needs of long-term cancer survivors require continuous follow-up by the health system, aiming to ensure comprehensive health care and quality of life.
