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

Cancer patient navigation in Canada began in 2002 in Nova Scotia with oncology nurses providing support to patients from diagnosis up to and including end of life. This novel study was carried out to determine navigation frequency and palliative care contact rates, and variations in these rates among adults who were diagnosed with cancer, navigated, and then died between 2011 and 2014. Among the 2,532 study subjects, 56.7% were navigated for more than one month and 30.6% had palliative care contact reported. Variations were observed by geographic area, cancer stage, time from diagnosis to death, and whether the person died of cancer. Further study of the role of navigation is advised for persons at end of life.
