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.

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.

Abstract

purposeTreatment of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is intensive, with induction treatment initiated in an inpatient setting and subsequent consolidation therapy often conducted in an outpatient setting. The purpose of the present qualitative paper is to provide insight into the experience of patients in the transition from inpatient to ambulatory care.

methodsParticipants were 35 AML patients who were interviewed about their experience of the illness and treatment. Utilizing the grounded theory method, we describe the adjustment of participants to the transition to ambulatory care.

resultsAs outpatients, participants described adjusting to the intensity of ambulatory treatment and to the need to assume greater responsibility for their care. They also expressed a growing desire to understand their long-term care plan, compared to their preference to focus on the present prior to discharge, and they were struggling to construct a new sense of identity.

conclusionsAML patients are now leaving acute care settings sicker and earlier. Considering their perceptions can inform interventions to facilitate adjustment during the transition to outpatient care.
