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

Past research suggests that psychosocial responses to advanced or recurrent cancer vary by age. This study compares the relative influences of patients' age and recurrence status on indicators of symptom distress, anxiety, and depression following a diagnosis of advanced cancer. A prospective study of advanced cancer support provided patient outcome data reported at baseline, 3-, and 6-month intervals. Cohorts were defined by age group and recurrence status and latent growth curves fit to anxiety, depression, and symptom distress outcomes. Middle-age recurrent patients reported the highest symptom distress, depression, and anxiety across time points. Older recurrent patients fared worse at baseline than older nonrecurrent patients, but outcome scores converged across time points. Recurrent cancer presents a distinct challenge that, for middle-age patients, persists across time. It may be beneficial to develop targeted educational and support resources for middle-age patients with recurrent disease.
