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

backgroundImplemenation of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) like quality of life can add the patient's perspective to traditional clinical outcomes of cancer rehabilitation in a structured and standardized way.

aimTo present useful steps for a successful implementation of routine electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) monitoring. The presented steps are exemplified by describing the procedure applied in an Austrian inpatient cancer rehabilitation centre.

methodsThe suggested implementation steps are presented based on the structure of the replicating effective programmes framework, which was used for developing a pragmatic implementation strategy.

resultsWe scheduled alternating trainings and process evaluations for audit and enhancement of procedures. In this way, the ePRO participation rates could be improved. Stakeholder involvement led to initiatives that included the integration of ePRO data into the medical discharge letter and the implementation of follow-up assessments. DISCUSSION: Tailored changes in assessment procedures enabled the successful implementation of ePRO, which has been shown to be feasible before and after cancer rehabilitation. The continuous involvement of stakeholders paved the way for further projects initiated by medical staff as users themselves (inclusion of PRO data in the discharge letter and a comprehensive ePRO follow-up using a versatile online patient portal).
