Retrospective review of symptoms and palliative care interventions in women with advanced cervical cancer.
Article in Gynecologic oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to delineate and measure the symptom distress experienced by patients with advanced cervical cancer at the time of palliative care (PC) referral.
methodsA total of 156 patients with advanced cervical cancer were referred to PC from 2010 to 2012. Of these, 88 patients had completed the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) and were included in the analysis.
resultsThe mean age was 45years (25-76), 47% were white, 18% were African American, and 33% were Hispanic. Fifty-one percent were married, 64% had no advance directives, and 75% had recurrent disease. Clinically significant symptoms recorded by patient reported outcome measurement (defined as ESAS scores ≥4) were pain (81%), anorexia (72%), a poor feeling of well-being (70%), fatigue (69%), and insomnia (54%). The chief complaint recorded for the visit was pain in 94% of patients. According to the PC specialists' assessment, pain (96%), emotional distress (77%), and constipation (50%) were predominant symptoms. Various PC interventions including opioids, laxatives, and expressive supportive counseling were provided. Clinically significant symptoms including nausea, depression, anxiety, and feeling of well-being were significantly improved at follow-up visits.
conclusionMore than half of patients with advanced cervical cancer were significantly burdened with pain, anorexia, a poor feeling of well-being, fatigue, insomnia, and constipation at the time of PC referral. This research is an integral step towards developing a standardized tool for assessing symptoms in women diagnosed with cervical cancer and thus maximizing effectiveness of patient centered care.
