Evaluating stress, satisfaction and the associated influencing factors of participants in cancer clinical trials: a cross-sectional study in China.
Article in BMJ open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03412344 (Assessing Knowledge and Affecting Factors Associated With Cancer Patients Participation in Clinical Trials in China.), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
objectivesPatients' stress and satisfaction concerning cancer clinical trials (CCT) may affect study accrual and quality. Our study aimed to evaluate stress and satisfaction in CCT and the influencing factors.
designCross-sectional analysis done by a questionnaire after informed consent.
settingCancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
participants199 CCT participants. Primary and secondary outcome measures self-assessed stress and satisfaction in CCT.
resultsAmong 199 participants, 83.9% would join CCT again; 72.9% had enough time to decide on trial participation; 73.9% claimed complete awareness of CCT; 3.5% doubted CCT's significance and scientific quality; 33.2% deemed CCT time-consuming; 73.9% scored satisfaction ≥9/10; and 25.6% claimed moderate to severe stress. Positive factors for satisfaction were enough decision time (OR=0.36, p=0.0003), better impressions of doctors (OR=0.41, p=0.047) and less time-consuming trials (OR=0.43, p<0.0001). Individuals with more prior uninsured medical expenses (OR=1.23, p=0.026), less time consumption (OR=2.35, p<0.0001) and more tests in CCT (OR=0.64, p=0.035) were less likely to experience stress. Phase III study participants bore less stress than phase II (OR=0.29, p=0.032) but more than phase I (OR=1.18, p=0.009).
conclusionsOur study addressed factors influencing CCT participants' stress and satisfaction. We suggested measures to improve patients' experiences in CCT. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03412344; Pre-results.
