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

purposeThe goal of our study was to better understand the importance of adult cancer survivors (ACS) receiving Survivorship Care Plans (SCP) especially for their psychological well-being. We hypothesize that the receipt of SCP would decrease the likelihood of symptoms of current depression (SCD) in this population.

methodsWe tested our hypothesis by using a representative sample of ACS, more than 1 year from cancer diagnosis, who responded to the 2010 BRFSS survey. We used follow-up care instructions (FCI) and treatment summaries (TS) as a marker of SCP. Weighted multivariable logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between FCI and TS (individually and in combination) and SCD, among short-term (≤5 years from cancer diagnosis) and long-term (>5 years from cancer diagnosis) ACS.

resultsOut of 3191 final study participants, 32.8 % were short-term, and 67.2 % were long-term ACS. Among short-term ACS, the adjusted odds of SCD were 3 times higher (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 3.14 [95%CI 1.29-7.65]) for those who did not receive TS + FCI than for those who received them both. Among long-term ACS, the adjusted odds of SCD were more than twice higher (AOR 2.18 [95%CI 1.14-4.19]) for those who received FCI and no TS compared to those who received them both.

conclusionThe present study results emphasize the importance of ACS receiving SCP. Adult cancer survivors may highly benefit from the receipt of SCP not only short-term but also long-term for their overall psychological well-being.
