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

Background: Patients with cancer routinely undergo genomic tumor sequencing, a component of molecular profiling (MP), to better characterize their cancer and identify potential targetable alterations. Targeted treatments potentially confer higher response rates and better efficacy. With increasing complexity, patients may require detailed explanations of MP results. Patient understanding of MP results increases the likelihood that eligible patients receive targeted treatment. Advanced practice providers (APPs), defined as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists, frequently review and discuss MP results with patients. Purpose: The aim of this study is to understand APP experiences discussing MP results with adult cancer patients. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted through virtual semi-structured interviews with APPs recruited via study invitation shared through the Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology (APSHO). Eligibility criteria included APPs with > 1 year of oncology experience and involvement in discussing MP results. Data were analyzed utilizing a constant comparative analysis and coded in three stages: open, axial, and selective. Results: Thirteen participants were enrolled from across the United States. Participants discussed learning to understand and explain MP findings primarily through on-the-job experiences. Barriers to patient education were also described. Initially coded participant statements (open codes) produced six themes (axial codes). Conclusions: With MP now standard practice in oncology, APPs frequently discuss these results with patients. This study highlights that additional and continuing education related to MP is needed in communicating complex results. Patient educational tools, specific to patients' MP findings and tailored to their preferences and literacy levels, are critically needed.
