Identification of Symptom Profiles in Prostate Cancer Survivors.
Trial report in Oncology nursing forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo identify symptom profiles (e.g., fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment) among prostate cancer survivors, examine factors associated with the identified symptom profiles, and compare quality-of-life outcomes. SAMPLE &
setting98 prostate cancer survivors who completed primary treatment were enrolled in a randomized parent trial. METHODS & VARIABLES: Established scales were used to measure symptoms and quality of life. Latent profile analysis was employed to classify patient groups based on symptom experiences. Logistic regression assessed factors associated with symptom profiles.
resultsThe mean age of participants was 69 years (SD = 6.8). A high-symptom group (n = 29) and a low-symptom group (n = 69) were identified. Higher perceived stress (odds ratio [OR] = 1.28; p = 0.006), poorer spiritual well-being (OR = 0.84; p = 0.006), and lower household income (OR = 0.12; p = 0.089) were associated with being classified into the high-symptom group. Patients in the high-symptom group reported worse quality of life across all domains (p < 0.05). IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Prostate cancer survivors experience varying degrees of symptom severity. Understanding the symptom profiles and associated factors can inform nurses about patients in need of symptom management and targeted interventions.
