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

introductionThe experiential knowledge of patients can provide research communities with complementary perspectives on disease. The aim of this study was to identify and prioritise everyday problems and research needs of haematological cancer patients and people who have undergone a stem cell transplantation.

methodsA mixed-method participatory research approach (the Dialogue Model) was applied, including interviews (n = 19), four focus group discussions (n = 27), a questionnaire (n = 146) and a stakeholder dialogue meeting (n = 30) with patients in the Netherlands.

resultsPatients' physical discomfort, psychosocial issues, problems with the healthcare system and policy issues were highlighted. Respondents prioritise research aimed at factors potentially influencing survival, such as lifestyle, and research aimed at improving patients' quality of life, for example improving memory and concentration problems. Topics also focused on physical discomfort, causal mechanisms, and healthcare organisation and policies. Research of a social scientific character is underrepresented, and as such, patients' everyday problems are not all directly reflected in the research agenda.

conclusionsOur findings indicate that patients, besides emphasising the importance of improving survival, have a clear desire to increase control over their lives.
