Taking control over our health: Empowerment as perceived by young adults living with advanced cancer.
Article in Canadian oncology nursing journal = Revue canadienne de nursing oncologique, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundHealth-related empowerment is a key concept in person-centred care. However, little is known of its core elements in young adults diagnosed with advanced cancer.
objectiveTo explore empowerment in the context of young adults' healthcare experiences who are now in advanced stages of cancer. SETTING &
participantsTwelve young adults (aged 21 to 39 years) were recruited from a large cancer centre in Montreal, Quebec.
methodsIn-depth interviews lasting between 36 and 90 minutes were conducted individually, audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsThroughout the cancer trajectory, participants reported a sustained desire to be actively involved in their treatment and care. Four themes emerged from the data representing processes of waiting, managing, acting, and revisiting. Subsumed under these were notions of body ownership, facing obstacles to care, optimizing health, and (re)considering their legacy.
conclusionsOverall, participants wanted to remain in control of their situation despite the multiple challenges related to advanced cancer. If corroborated further, these findings should inform supportive cancer care approaches that are truly tailored to the needs of young adults.
