A Descriptive, Longitudinal Study of Quality of Life and Perceived Health Needs in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer.
Review in Journal of the advanced practitioner in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Patients with head and neck cancer have numerous concerns and symptoms in the first year of posttreatment survivorship and are especially vulnerable at the end of treatment and 1 month posttreatment. This article shares the findings of a descriptive, longitudinal study of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with head and neck cancer from the beginning of treatment through 12 months posttreatment. The primary objective of this study was to describe the symptom experience and health needs of patients receiving radiation for head and neck cancer to support the establishment of an advanced practitioner (AP) clinic for head and neck cancer survivors. Significant findings in this study showed HRQOL at the end of treatment was significantly lower than baseline (
