[Use of unconventional therapies by cancer patients].
Article in Sozial- und Praventivmedizin, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Unconventional therapies are increasingly accepted and used by professionals and lay persons. In this study, we analyzed correlations between sociodemographic variables of cancer patients, their disease and use of unconventional therapies. In an oncological out-patient department we collected the data relevant for the study objectives by means of a questionnaire. The sample comprised of 154 persons. The younger age group, married individuals and those in mid level occupational positions had more experience with unconventional therapies. The strongest predictors for usage were "age", length of illness" and "being able to go to work or to do house work". Doctors should be familiar with these methods in order to support their oncologic patients. As unconventional therapies will be used more often research should be intensified.
