A Connectedness Primer for Healthcare Providers: Adolescents/Young Adult Cancer Survivors' Perspectives on Behaviors That Foster Connectedness During Cancer Treatment and the Resulting Positive Outcomes.
Article in Journal of adolescent and young adult oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeMany healthcare providers (HCPs) struggle to communicate and connect with adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer that hinders their ability to adequately assess and address the psychosocial needs of AYA. The purpose of this article is to describe the key behaviors of HCPs AYA perceive as essential to fostering connectedness with them and the outcomes AYA experience from such connectedness.
methodsThe sample for this empirical phenomenological study was nine AYA cancer survivors (aged 20-23 years) who were diagnosed in adolescence. In-person individual interviews were conducted using a broad, data-generating question and analyzed using an adapted Colaizzi's method.
resultsThe key behaviors of HCPs AYA perceive as essential to fostering connectedness include (1) exhibiting characteristics of knowing how to connect; (2) being watchful and attentive to AYA needs; (3) displaying a willingness to foster the relationship; (4) using humor; and (5) conveying respect, support, and caring. Outcomes of connectedness for AYA include a sense of being cared about, understood, and respected as unique individuals. In addition, AYA experience a sense of confidence/comfort in expressing themselves to HCPs, anticipation of interacting with HCPs in the future, a sense of gratitude for HCPs, and enhanced well-being.
conclusionFindings highlight the specific behaviors HCPs can use to foster connectedness with AYA and the outcomes AYA experience from connectedness. Improving HCPs' ability to connect with AYA and maintain connectedness is essential to identifying and addressing the psychosocial needs of AYA. AYA-HCP connectedness may help reduce the psychosocial distress AYA experience during and after treatment.
