Prevalence of unmet needs and correlated factors in advanced-stage cancer patients receiving rehabilitation.
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 28 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
purposeAlthough rehabilitation for patients with cancer is currently being provided throughout all phases of the disease, including the advanced stage, much remains unknown about the needs of such patients. The aims of this study were to identify the supportive care and unmet needs of cancer patients receiving rehabilitation interventions and to investigate the factors associated with those unmet needs.
methodsA total of 45 patients with cancer receiving rehabilitation interventions participated in this study between June 2013 and December 2015. Measures included the Japanese version of the Short-Form Supportive Care Needs Survey Questionnaire (SCNS-SF34), the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and various other medico-social factors.
resultsThe mean age of the cancer patients was 66.6 years, the mean (±standard deviation) FIM score was 111.8 (±16.1), and the mean HADS score was 13.9 (±8.2). The patients had a mean of 17.4 (±10.3) unmet needs. The top ten unmet needs related to rehabilitation intervention included seven psychological needs, two health system and information needs, and one physical and daily living need. Multiple regression analysis revealed that psychological distress (HADS ≥11), marital status, and sex were significantly associated with physical and daily living needs.
conclusionsThese results suggest that psychosocial factors are important in understanding the supportive care and unmet needs of cancer patients receiving rehabilitation interventions.
