Cancer risk perception in relation to associated symptoms in Barrett's patients: A cross sectional study on quality of life.
Article in United European gastroenterology journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundBarrett's oesophagus affects patients' quality of life and may be a psychological burden due to the threat of developing an oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
objectiveAssessing the oesophageal adenocarcinoma risk perceived by non-dysplastic Barrett's oesophagus patients and its association with quality of life, illness perception and reflux symptoms.
methodsThis cross-sectional questionnaire study included 158 Barrett's oesophagus non-dysplastic patients aged 18-75 years. Based on their annual and lifetime oesophageal adenocarcinoma risk estimations measured with the Magnifier Scale, patients were classified as overestimating or underestimating. Associations between the groups where assed on demographics, reflux symptoms and results of the Outcomes Study Short-Form-36 (SF-36) and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ).
resultsThe annual oesophageal adenocarcinoma risk was overestimated by 41%. Overestimating patients had lower means on the SF-36 domains: bodily pain (annual
conclusionsOverestimation of the oesophageal adenocarcinoma risk by Barrett's oesophagus patients was associated with decreased quality of life and worse illness perceptions, which is most likely caused by symptoms of dyspepsia and reflux. These symptoms should be adequately treated, and patients may be in need of extra support and specific information about their oesophageal adenocarcinoma risk.
