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

backgrounds and purposeChildhood cancer survivors (CCSs) who transition through adolescence and enter young adulthood may suffer psychological, cognitive, social, fertility, and sexual issues and concerns. There is an urgent need for comprehensive intervention strategies to improve the transition of CCSs. Web-based technologies are gaining momentum as a new mechanism to provide healthcare and education for adolescents. However, previous frameworks have been limited in their effectiveness in explaining web-based interventions.This realist synthesis aims to synthesise current evidence on transition of CCSs to develop a framework for web-based interventions. The framework can foster understanding of the integrity of web-based intervention implementation chain, examine which mechanistic factors will be triggered by web-based interventions, note and examine the flows, blockages and points of contention in the implementation, to refine web-based interventions. METHOD AND ANALYSIS: A realist synthesis that adheres to the Realist and Meta-narrative Evidence Syntheses-Evolving Standard will be used. Studies will be identified through PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Ovid and Cochrane Library from the period of January 2005 to May 2023. We will also search the reference lists provided in relevant studies and reviews. Articles will be screened based on two principles: (1) Relevance: does the research address the initial programme theory? (2) Rigour: whether a particular inference drawn by the original researcher has sufficient weight to make a methodologically credible contribution to the test of the initial programme theory. No restrictions regarding the design or language of publication will be considered. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: As a review, ethical approval is not required. The results from this study will be presented at international conferences and disseminated through peer-reviewed publications. Patients and the public will be involved in the dissemination plans.
