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
purposeAging and cancer have profound effects on patient and caregiver anxiety which negatively impacts physical symptoms, treatment engagement and response, and well-being. Despite the high rates of anxiety in Latino/a older adults with cancer (OACs) and their caregivers, large disparities in mental health care access and quality are prevalent in this population. A better understanding of anxiety experiences is needed to inform the development of effective anxiety interventions for this population.
methodsA qualitative study, containing interviews (n = 7) and focus groups (n = 4) with patients and caregivers (N = 18), was employed to investigate the experience and management of anxiety in Latino/a OACs in order to inform tailored anxiety interventions for this population. Interviews were conducted via videoconference or phone, transcribed, coded, cross-checked, and thematically analyzed.
resultsFive themes within the 2 major domains of anxiety experience and anxiety management emerged from the qualitative analysis: (1) Navigating the rapid changes associated with diagnosis and treatment for cancer; (2) Living with uncertainty and a loss of control; (3) Perception that anxiety must be incapacitating to benefit from mental health support; (4) Complexity in navigating social support; and (5) Faith as a central coping resource.
conclusionAnxiety is common among Latino/a OACs and their caregivers; however, little is known about this population's experience of anxiety. Findings from the present study revealed distinct anxiety experiences, views toward mental health treatment, and coping preferences. Such findings provide a framework which can be utilized to inform effective dyadic anxiety interventions for Latino/a OACs and their caregivers.
