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: Despite advances in therapies that have increased the duration of post-diagnosis survival, living with long-term adverse effects of cancer and its treatment is common. This study aims to evaluate satisfaction with care (SC) as a dimension affecting Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among people with cancer, considering other sociodemographic and clinical variables supposedly impacting HRQoL. Methods: This cross-sectional study used an Results: 263 patients (49.8% males; age 61.2 ± 13.8 years) from two cancer units. Positive correlations (p<0.05) between SC and HRQoL. Females have a poorer HRQoL than males (ß= .416, CI 95% [.162;.671], p=0.001), as well as patients from the hospital ward compared to those in the day hospital service (ß= -.459, CI 95% [-.782 -.137], p=0.005). Greater SC referred to the service features predict better HRQoL (ß= .338, CI 95% [.154;.523], p<0.001). Conclusions: Given the cross-sectional design, causal inferences cannot be drawn; however, identifying satisfaction with care and other factors associated with HRQoL among people with cancer may help inform prevention and rehabilitation programs.
