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

Objective: Late effects are frequent among adult childhood cancer survivors (ACCS), making long-term follow-up (LTFU) care essential. This study examined satisfaction and worries among ACCS after their first LTFU visit and explored associated factors. Methods: ACCS (≥18 years) entering LTFU care at two Swiss outpatient clinics, Cantonal Hospital of Baselland and Bern University Hospital, completed questionnaires before and three months after their first visit. Data were collected between 2017 and 2023. Outcomes included satisfaction with patient-centered care and information dissemination, as well as worries, each rated from 1 to 4. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were used to identify associated factors. Results: A total of 145 ACCS were included in the study. Satisfaction was very high, with mean scores of 3.77 (range = 2.75-4.00) for patient-centered care and 3.58 (range = 1.78-4.00) for information dissemination. Worries were reported at moderate levels (M = 2.02, range = 1.00-3.67). Discussing a higher proportion of wished topics during the visit was associated with greater satisfaction with patient-centered care ( Conclusions: Satisfaction with LTFU visits was generally very high. ACCS with lower mental HRQoL may benefit from additional psychological support to mitigate worries.
