Functional Status, Supportive Care Needs, and Health-Related Quality of Life in Advanced Lung Cancer Patients Aged 50 and Older.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the levels of functional status, supportive care needs, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and their relationships reported by advanced lung cancer patients aged 50 and older.
methodsA cross-sectional descriptive correlational study was conducted with 103 participants recruited from a cancer center in Singapore. Functional status, supportive care needs, and HRQOL were measured using validated instruments. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the sample profiles. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were adopted to determine factors that were associated with HRQOL.
resultsAbout 70.9% of participants were dependent in at least one instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). The mean number of unmet needs rated by participants was 9 (range = 0-28). The top three ranked items with moderate-to-severe unmet needs were "not being able to do things you used to do" (28.2%), "fear about cancer spreading" (25.3%), and "lack of energy/tiredness" (25.2%). Higher IADL scores were significantly associated with better HRQOL, whereas higher levels of supportive care needs, particularly in psychological domain significantly predicted poorer HRQOL in most domains.
conclusionsThis study found that poor functional status and unmet supportive care needs are common in advanced lung cancer patients. Psychological needs and functional status are associated with patients' HRQOL. Future interventions incorporating functional assistance and psychological support may increase HRQOL in this population.
