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

This study described the patterns within collaborative relationships between patients and health care professionals during radiation therapy (RT). A one-time survey was administered to cancer patients (N=130) receiving RT at one Ontario cancer centre. The key study variables were collaboration between patients and health care providers and participants' well-being. Participants reported higher levels of collaboration with nurses, radiation oncologists, and radiation therapists than with dietitians, social workers and spiritual support personnel [F(5, 760) = 430.42, p < .001]. Participants with more symptom distress collaborated more with some health care professionals than those with less distress, but this was only true for collaboration with social workers (p < .05) and dietitians (p < .05). We postulated that participants did not require services from dietitians and social workers when symptom burden was low. Future directions regarding integration of patient-centred measures (e.g., self-management education) into interprofessional models for cancer care are discussed.
