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

purposeThere is a need for periodic review of research priorities in psycho-oncology. The purpose of this research was to conduct a qualitative study designed to canvass the views of health professionals working in psycho-oncology in Australia regarding current priority areas for research in psycho-oncology.

methodsThis study was conducted in two phases. This article reports the results from the first phase, where focus groups were conducted with key researchers and clinicians active in psycho-oncology.

resultsA total of 55 individuals took part in ten focus groups and two interviews. Participants identified 12 priority areas for research. These areas were grouped into four global themes given a significant overlap in the research issues identified. The four global themes are: distress-improving identification, detection, referral and management; specific populations requiring intervention research; the patient journey; and health services research. Key issues identified for each theme are documented along with participant quotes.

conclusionsThis research provides the first steps in identifying research priorities in psycho-oncology and will guide the development of pertinent research studies as well as inform collaborative research studies focusing on clinically relevant interventions. The outcomes of such studies should ultimately guide optimal patient care.
