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

purposeHealthcare providers (HCPs) and other staff at a comprehensive Cancer Center were interviewed on how to best implement a patient navigator position when working with adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer. Research objectives included assessing staff perceptions of (a) barriers to optimal care for AYA, (b) roles and responsibilities for a patient navigator, and (c) training needed for future patient navigators.

methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 staff members providing care to AYA. Verbatim transcripts were hand-coded using inductive content analysis.

resultsRoles and responsibilities of a patient navigator were described as needing to coordinate services, be knowledgeable of resources inside and outside the Cancer Center, provide emotional support, advocate for AYA, assist with financial and insurance issues, and serving as the first point of contact.

conclusionsStaff serving AYA reported the desired roles and training they wished a patient navigator to possess. This study contributes to the literature by conducting stakeholder assessment of the goals and roles of an AYA patient navigator (PN). PN positions should be adapted to the workflow and ethos of the institution.
