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

Modern concepts such as patient empowerment stand for the selection of appropriate concomitant treatment procedures from a scientific point of view and for placing these in the hands of the patient, thereby demanding and encouraging personal responsibility. It is important to distinguish between the terms complementary and/or alternative medicine. If we look at the motivation of patients to use complementary and/or alternative procedures, this is divided into the desire to do something directly against the tumor and on the other hand to strengthen the body's own resources, support the immune system, and reduce side effects in a concrete manner. The crux of modern oncology is that many specialists no longer have sufficient time for detailed patient information talks and multiple good physician-patient talks. The importance of complementary medicine in addition to nutrition and exercise lies above all in its targeted use as a concomitant supportive therapy. Complementary medicine primarily offers the chance to meet the desire of those affected to actively participate in their treatment.
