Transition journey from hospital to home in patients with cancer and their caregivers: a qualitative study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe National Cancer Institute Singapore initiated the NUH2 Home program in January 2014, referred to as "Caring Across the Cancer Continuum," a nurse-led cancer transitional care service (CTCS) that provides home care to patients with cancer and their caregivers. The study aimed to explore the transition experiences of patients with cancer and their caregivers.
methodUsing a purposive sampling, 12 patients with cancer and 12 caregivers were recruited. Audiotape interviews were conducted until data saturation was achieved. Each interview was transcribed verbatim, and thematic analyses were performed to extract significant themes and subthemes.
resultsFour themes emerged from the data including (1) ongoing concerns, (2) needing timely help, (3) resuming control and normality of life, and (4) appreciating the transition care. The transition journey of patients and caregivers provided them with an ability to regain control and normality in their lives, be reassured and confident in being able to care for themselves and manage the physiological and psychological strains associated with the multiple vicissitudes associated with having cancer and its treatment while at home.
conclusionOur study addressed the nature, patterns, conditions, and responses to transition care. Our findings provided relevant contextual knowledge to further improve the transition care service based on the recommendations of the patients with cancer and their caregivers who first experienced the new service.
