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 patient's perspective evaluated by patient-reported outcomes (PROs) gains more and more importance, since treatment efficacy is no longer solely linked to clinical outcomes like cure and overall survival. Ailments like pain, fatigue and social isolation can only be assessed by patients' direct expression without any interpretation made by medical staff. PROs facilitate the disclosure of quality of life issues and patients feel a stronger support due to improved communication. PROs offer many further advantages like saving of time, cost and staff, targeted intervention and sensitizing of clinicians. Also, internationally validated questionnaires are available and the development of electronic PROs eases data-collection, calculation and storage. PROs collected within clinical routine are versatile concerning their applicability: They can be used for scientific analyses, quality assurance, and health technology assessment.
