Demographic and disease characteristics associated with non-hodgkin lymphoma survivors' quality of life: does age matter?
Article in Oncology nursing forum, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
PURPOSE/
objectivesTo examine demographic and disease characteristics by age and the moderating effect of age on quality of life (QOL) among non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) survivors.
designA cross-sectional, secondary analysis study of NHL survivors.
settingTwo North Carolina cancer registries. SAMPLE: 741 NHL survivors with a mean age of 62 years and a mean time since diagnosis of 10 years.
methodsMailed surveys were sent to individuals treated for NHL. All analyses were conducted using SPSS®, version 18.0. Multiple regression was used to analyze relationships among demographic and disease characteristics, age, and QOL. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES: Demographic, disease, and clinical characteristics on QOL.
findingsIn relation to QOL, income and gender were moderated by age; for example, younger survivors who earned less than $30,000 annually had a poorer QOL. Women reported a higher QOL than men.
conclusionsAge was a moderator for income and an indicator for how income could affect care of younger survivors. Men reported a lower QOL than women and gender-specific resources may be helpful to them. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Nursing research should focus on age-sensitive resources targeted for younger NHL survivors. KNOWLEDGE TRANSLATION: Age is an important characteristic that impacts overall health-related QOL. Oncology nurses are instrumental in identifying patients at all ages who could benefit from age-specific resources.
