Development and validation of self- and caregiver-report of a distress screening tool for pediatric cancer survivors.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
purposeTo develop and validate the Distress Screening Tool (DST) for child and adolescent cancer survivors.
methodsIn part 1, items of the DST were generated through literature search and group interviews. Initially, the DST was tested on pediatric cancer survivors and their caregivers. In part 2, the modified version of the DST was retested with a different set of participants. Lastly, the psychometric properties and cutoff scores of the DST were evaluated on a separate set of survivors and caregivers.
resultsIn part 1, six items of the DST self- and caregiver-report versions were generated. The initial 6 DST items of both versions showed acceptable internal consistency, but low inter-item correlation. Following the item modification, both versions of the DST showed improved inter-item correlation. In part 2, the modified DST had acceptable internal consistency and convergent validity, with acceptable psychometric properties. Cutoff scores were also generated.
conclusionsThe DST could be a useful tool for pediatric cancer survivors.
