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

backgroundCancer care is a complex care process and is associated with generating a variety of data during the care process. Therefore, it seems that designing and using information systems is necessary to enhance the accessibility, organization and management of cancer-related data. The aim of this study was to identify users' requirements of an oncology information system (OIS).

methodsThis was a qualitative study conducted in 2018. In depth semi-structured interviews were performed with clinicians and non-clinicians in five teaching hospitals to identify users' requirements. Data were analyzed by using framework analysis.

resultsThe four themes emerged from data analysis included: a) methods of recording cancer data in the hospitals, b) required cancer data in different departments, c) comprehensive cancer care documentation, and d) required functions of an oncology information system.

conclusionAccording to the results, currently, electronic documentation is less frequently used for cancer patients. Therefore, an extensive effort is needed to identify users' requirements before designing and implementing an oncology information system. As multidisciplinary teams are involved in cancer care, all potential users and their requirements should be taken into account. Such a system can help to collect and use cancer data effectively.
