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

backgroundTreatment of patients with malignant melanoma includes informing the patients about their rights regarding social/disability benefits. In particular, every patient has the right to rehabilitation treatment according to SGB V and IX (SGB: Sozialgesetzbuch; Social Security Code) and to an examination regarding the classification of the disability.

objectivesThe present study examines the extent to which patients with invasive malignant melanoma are informed after initial diagnosis about their social rights to medical rehabilitation measures and the classification of disability. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn the course of a survey in 2014, n = 1800 German dermatological practices were contacted and provided a standardized questionnaire on several care-relevant questions, including the aforementioned ones.

resultsEvaluable questionnaires were submitted by n = 424 practices. In all, 52% of dermatologists stated that they regularly provided information on the right to rehabilitation, 15% sometimes, 41% rarely or never. Furthermore, 44% of dermatologists regularly, 17% sometimes and 38% rarely or never informed their patients about the classification of disability. Relevant differences were found in regional comparisons.

conclusionsPracticing dermatologists seem to transfer the information requirement to the clinics involved in the treatment. It would be beneficial if the information were also provided again by the dermatologists in private practice. In view of the known limited capacity to receive new information from patients with newly diagnosed melanoma, repeated counselling appears to be more patient-friendly.
