Identifying unmet needs and limitations in physical health in survivors of Head and Neck Cancer.
Article in European journal of cancer care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo gain insight into the level of unmet needs and limitations in physical health experienced by survivors of head and neck cancer, and to evaluate whether unmet needs in physical health and limitations in physical performance are associated. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, unmet needs were measured with Supportive Care Needs Surveys (SCNS-SF34, SCNS-HNC). Limitations in physical health were measured for maximal mouth opening, neck and shoulder function, hand grip strength and lower body strength, level of mobility and walking ability.
resultsThe SCNSs showed that 48% had a cancer generic unmet need and 46% had at least one HNC-specific unmet need. In total, 76% of sHNC had a cancer generic limitation in physical health and that 58% had an HNC-specific limitation in the mobility of neck and shoulders or maximum mouth opening. The domain of physical and daily living needs showed a weak association with lateral flexion of the neck to the left (R = -0.319; p = 0.024).
conclusionSurvivors of HNC might benefit from the use of both SCNSs and physical performance measurements during usual care follow-up for early and optimal identification of unmet needs and limitations in physical health.
