Psychometric properties of the Dutch extended Cancer Survivors' Unmet Needs measure (CaSUN-NL).
Article in European journal of cancer care, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Information and support needs increase emotional distress and can impede cancer survivors' adjustment. To investigate the information and support needs of Dutch cancer survivors, the Cancer Survivors' Unmet Needs measure (CaSUN) was translated into Dutch and applied in two Dutch studies with cancer survivors (N = 255; N = 467). The CaSUN-NL entailed the original five CaSUN scales, extended with respectively a returning to work and lifestyle scale. This study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the CaSUN-NL. To assess validity, a maximum likelihood factor analysis was employed. Construct validity was analysed using Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients. To assess reliability, test-retest (Kappa coefficient) and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) values were determined. Factor analysis revealed the original five factors. Test-retest reliability was low (r ≤ .15, 93% retest response). Internal consistency values were high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.92-0.94), except for lifestyle. Significant correlations were found between total number of unmet needs with anxiety (r = .55), depression (r = .49), negative adjustment (r = .50), quality of life (r = -.52) and age (r = -.24). The CaSUN-NL is valid and reliable to investigate the unmet information and support needs of Dutch cancer survivors.
