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

Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, such as quality of life, have been associated with relevant clinical end points and are prognostic for survival outcomes in a variety of solid cancers in adults. In the past few years, PROs have garnered a greater influence as established and clinically relevant measures that could alter the current paradigm of practice-changing therapeutic advances, as it has been recognized that classic clinical end points do not accurately portray a full appreciation of the benefits, risks and costs of therapy. In this Review, we comprehensively assess the correlation of PROs with treatment response and survival, and explore tumour-related and patient-centric composite end points in patients with cancer participating in clinical trials. Comparisons or composite end points that consider tumour-related and PRO components might help health-care providers, patients with cancer and decision makers to better understand the total clinical benefit of therapeutic interventions.
