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
purposeThis study examined levels of financial toxicity in older adult cancer patients and assessed the relationship between financial toxicity and levels of life satisfaction and quality of life.
methodsThe study sample consisted of 116 cancer patients aged 65 and over who applied to a university hospital in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, for treatment. The Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, and Quality of Life Scale were used in the study. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data.
resultsPatients were found to have moderate levels of financial toxicity, and this level was correlated with life satisfaction and quality of life. Higher levels of financial toxicity were observed in female and married patients. Similarly, patients with access to caregivers, higher levels of education, and higher income levels were found to have higher quality of life and life satisfaction.
conclusionAssessments of life satisfaction and quality of life levels in older adult cancer patients have revealed that financial toxicity and socio-demographic characteristics are significant determinants. However, considering that older adults generally have a fixed income and may find it difficult to generate further financial gain, it is believed that supportive policies should be developed to prevent an increase in financial toxicity levels.
