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

In this review on the status of tolerability in pediatric oncology, the authors address the relevance and meaning of this important concept and offer a definition to represent treatment tolerability experiences of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult oncology patients. The authors acknowledge the incomplete progress of tolerability research in pediatric oncology clinical trials while describing the recent advances in validating relevant measures and embedding these in pediatric oncology clinical trials to document the symptom burden of specific cancer treatments. They advocate for the consistent use of three voices-patient, caregiver, and clinician-in pediatric oncology to achieve accurate and comprehensive estimates of treatment tolerability while recognizing that a primary voice may be necessary to match the main aim or goal of the proposed research. Future steps include establishing the validity of tolerability measures and methods in patients younger than 7 years and a careful examination of tolerability issues into survivorship.
