"Katz activities of daily living disability in older cancer survivors by age, stage, and cancer type".
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.
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
PURPOSE/
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to describe ADL impairments using the Katz ADL Index by cancer type, stage, and age in older cancer survivors.
methodsCross-sectional data from cohorts 9-14 (year 2006-2013) of the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results national cancer registry and Medicare Health Outcomes Survey linkage were used to describe ADL performance using the Katz ADL Index. Mean Katz scores and frequency of ADL disability were reported across cancer types for all eight cancers (colon, lung, breast, prostate, bladder, kidney, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, uterine) and by stage and age for the four large cancers (colon, lung, breast, prostate).
resultsIn this sample of 6,973 cancer survivors, ADL deficits were the greatest in uterine cancer survivors (μ = 4.72, SD = 1.44). When considering age, Katz scores were most impaired in breast (μ = 3.90, SD = 1.93) and prostate survivors (μ = 4.35, SD = 1.84) age > 85 years. When considering stage, Katz scores were most impaired in stage four survivors of prostate (μ = 4.14, SD = 1.82) or breast (μ = 4.43, SD = 2.05) cancer. Across all cancer types and age groups, with the exception of stage 4 prostate cancer, ADL deficits were consistently impaired in the same order, from most impaired to least: continence, transfers, bathing, dressing, toileting, and, lastly, feeding.
conclusionsScreening for ADL impairments is needed for older cancer survivors as Katz ADL disability differs by cancer type, stage, and age with greater impairment with advanced age and stage. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Interventions to address ADL limitations should be considered for older cancer survivors.
