1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Ovarian cancer and its treatment are associated with substantial physical and psychological burden, which may adversely affect patients' quality of life (QoL). While nutritional status and psychological factors are both considered important determinants of QoL, their contributions in patients undergoing chemotherapy remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between nutritional status and anxiety level with QoL among patients with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, in 2025. Nutritional status was assessed using body mass index (BMI) and serum albumin levels; anxiety was measured using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS); and QoL was evaluated using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation tests followed with multivariate linear regression test. A total of 101 patients with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy were included in this study. Nutritional status indicators, BMI and serum albumin, were not significantly correlated with QoL across all domains, with very weak correlation coefficients (
