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

purposeIn this study, we aim to assess types and levels of psychosocial needs in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) who have a parent with cancer. And define and describe the variables analyzing the demographic characteristics.

methodsThis descriptive study with cross-sectional design was conducted on 217 participants from five hospitals in Tehran. By use of the "Offspring Cancer Needs Instrument," in adolescents and young adults who had the inclusion criteria, information about the psychosocial needs were collected. Also, a demographic questionnaire was completed by the participants. Mean and standard deviation calculated for each domain and overall scores. Independent t test and one-way ANOVA was used for the comparison of needs' mean and demographic variables.

resultsTotal scores' mean was 126 and among domains, the "information" got the highest and the "support from friends" the lowest mean. Among demographic variables, we found a relationship between parent education (p value = 0.007), treatment statue (p value = 0.015), parent gender (p value = 0.018), and parent-child relationship (p value = 0.027) with the level of psychosocial needs.

conclusionsIn this target group of adolescents and young adults, the need for "information" is the strongest domain of psychosocial need during parent cancer trajectory.
