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
IntroductionFinancial hardship during cancer treatment is common in privatised healthcare systems and has been extensively studied in cancer survivorship groups. The experience of financial concerns by people living with advanced, incurable cancer has been less frequently explored. This paper sought to describe the proportion of patients experiencing financial worry longitudinally, in a cohort with advanced colorectal cancer, in a publicly funded healthcare system.MethodsThis secondary analysis of a prospective, observational cohort study 'Palliative Care Early and Systematic (PaCES)' project, analysed data from 131 patients with advanced colorectal cancer, from Alberta's two tertiary cancer centres, treated between January 2018 - December 2020. Rates of self-reported financial concerns were obtained from the Canadian Problem Checklist, completed monthly for 10 months and 3 monthly thereafter.ResultsFifty-seven patients (43%) affirmed at least once that they had worried about their finances in the preceding month. Of those who reported they had "noˮ financial concerns at enrolment, 41 (35%) subsequently answered "yesˮ. The proportion of patients experiencing financial worry at any given time point fluctuated but the mean proportion was 18%. Multivariable analysis confirmed younger age (<65) was associated with more financial worry (
