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

The State of the Science Report by the National Cancer Institute on Symptom Management in Cancer identified gaps in understanding the epidemiology of pain, depression, and fatigue, and called for studies that will identify the extent of risk for these symptoms among those with cancer relative to other populations. Using year 2000 data from the Health and Retirement Study, a survey of a nationally representative sample of adults aged > or =50, we evaluated whether respondents with a history of cancer had excess risk for pain, depression, and fatigue compared to those without a history of cancer. We also compared clustering/co-occurrence of symptoms. Controlling for the confounding effects of comorbidities, sociodemographic, and access to care factors, respondents with a history of cancer had higher risk for fatigue (OR = 1.45; 95%CI = 1.29,1.63), depression (OR = 1.21; 95%CI = 1.06,1.37), and pain (OR = 1.15; 95%CI = 1.03,1.28). Symptom clusters were also more prevalent among those with a history of cancer (P < 0.001), with the pain-depression-fatigue cluster as most prevalent.
