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 current study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of RetinoQuest in clinical practice, from survivors and healthcare professionals' (HCPs) point of view.

methodsRetinoQuest is a touch screen computer program to monitor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of retinoblastoma survivors via patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) targeting children (4-10 years) as evaluated by their parents (proxy measures), adolescents (11-18 years), and adults. Feasibility was evaluated by the actual time taken to complete the PROMs, acceptability of the time as perceived by the users, the content of PROMs in RetinoQuest, and overall satisfaction with RetinoQuest.

resultsNinety-six survivors participated: 41 parents of children, 38 adolescents, and 17 adults. Mean time to complete the evaluation form was 7.8 min (median 6.7, range 2.4-24.5), and 90% of the users stated that the time needed to complete PROMs in RetinoQuest was acceptable. The majority of users reported that it was important to answer the questions (88% of the parents, 66% of the adolescents, and 76% of the adult survivors) and that all important issues were covered, e.g., no missing questions (78, 84, and 76%, respectively). Satisfaction rate was high, 7.8 according to parents, 8.1 according to adolescents, and 7.7 for adults.

conclusionsRetinoQuest is a feasible e-health application to monitor HRQoL in retinoblastoma survivors in clinical practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: This tool allows for open and structured communication which can lead to early detection of psychosocial impacts on quality of life and referral of the retinoblastoma survivors.
