Implementation of a nurse-led, multidisciplinary model of care for older adults with cancer: a process evaluation protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionCancer is predominantly a disease of older adults, with an increasing number of cancer diagnoses in individuals aged 65 or older. Multiple geriatric factors have been shown to impact patient outcomes in cancer treatment. However, oncology specialists are not well adapted to incorporate geriatric assessment into practice due to a lack of resources and knowledge of the specialty.The primary aim of this study is to implement and evaluate a nurse-led, multidisciplinary model of care for older adults with cancer at two public tertiary hospitals in Melbourne, Australia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This study will aim to assess 200 patients across 2 sites. Both sites will assess individuals with lung cancer; the second site will also include individuals with genitourinary, upper gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers.This process evaluation will use quantitative and qualitative methods to explore the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) of the nurse-led, multidisciplinary model of care. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval and local governance approvals have been obtained by Austin Health and Monash Health Human Research Ethics committees. Dissemination will occur via publications, conferences, social medical and local engagement with clinicians, consumers and managers.
