Distinct Subgroups of Patients With Lung Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy: A Latent Transition Analysis.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo identify subgroups of patients with lung cancer receiving chemotherapy based on the severity dimension of symptom experience, and to examine changes in membership between these subgroups over time.
methodsPatients who were scheduled to receive chemotherapy completed the Chinese version of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory and the revised lung cancer module with a total of 19 symptom items. Data were collected at three time points: two weeks before chemotherapy (T1), after chemotherapy cycle 1 (T2), and after chemotherapy cycle 3 or above (T3). The latent profile analysis and latent transition analysis were used to identify underlying subgroups and describe changes in subgroup membership over time.
resultsFrom the total sample (
conclusionResults provide a better understanding of the patient's different symptom experiences and characteristics. These could help clinicians to anticipate symptom patterns and develop interventions in lung cancer patients who were scheduled to receive chemotherapy for the first time.
