Cognitive complaints in brain tumor patients and their relatives' perspectives.
Article in Neuro-oncology practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundCognitive deficits have been frequently assessed in brain tumor patients. However, self-reported cognitive complaints have received little attention so far. Cognitive complaints are important as they often interfere with participation in society. In this study, cognitive complaints were systematically assessed in brain tumor patients. As patients' experiences and relatives' estimations may vary, the level of agreement was investigated.
methodsBrain tumor outpatients (n = 47) and relatives (n = 42) completed the inventory
resultsPatients and relatives reported most cognitive complaints during work/education (100%) and social contacts (88.1%). Patients with different clinical characteristics reported comparable cognitive complaints scores. Overall, the level of agreement in patient-relative pairs was moderate-good (ICC 0.73-0.86). Although in 24% of the pairs, there was a substantial disagreement. The level of agreement was not related to the magnitude of complaints in patient-relative pairs or patients' cognitive functioning.
conclusionBoth the perspectives of brain tumor patients and their relatives' on cognitive complaints are important. Clinicians could encourage communication to reach mutual understanding.
