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

purposeWe compared a novel parent-report screening tool developed by the Clinical Neuropsychology Collaborative for Childhood Cancers, referred to as the CNC3 Caregiver Report Questionnaire (CNC3-CRQ), against clinician recommendations for identifying childhood cancer survivors (CCS) needing referral to neuropsychology services.

methodsThe CNC3-CRQ was administered to parents of CCS seen at a pediatric oncology survivorship clinic, with positive scores indicating need for referral to neuropsychology. CNC3-CRQ results as a cumulative variable and by individual neurocognitive domain were compared with clinically derived recommendations for referral to neuropsychology by their survivorship provider.

resultsAmong 173 participants, 41% had a history of hematologic malignancy and 20% had a history of central nervous system tumor. The CNC3-CRQ yielded recommendation for referral to neuropsychology for 68.2% of patients. Provider recommendations for referral to neuropsychology were significantly associated with higher odds of a positive CNC3-CRQ cumulative screen (OR = 13.2, 95% CI 3.76-52.1, p < 0.001). Across all neurocognitive domains, parent level of concern and symptom percentages were significantly positively associated with provider recommendations. When querying providers on their specific reasons for referral, reported parent/caregiver concern was significantly associated with a positive score in the CNC3-CRQ's Executive Functions: Behavior domain (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.06-5.95, p < 0.05.)

conclusionThe CNC3-CRQ results had significantly positive convergent relationships with clinically derived recommendations by oncology providers specializing in CCS for referral to neuropsychology services. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: The CNC3-CRQ may serve as a structured decision-support tool within clinics caring for CCS and may be particularly useful for those with less experience identifying neurocognitive late effects.
