Online Platform to Assess Complex Social Relationships and Patient-Reported Outcomes Among Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors.
Article in JCO clinical cancer informatics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeSocial integration and relationship issues have been understudied among adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. This study compared social relationships (social networks, support, and isolation) between AYA cancer survivors and noncancer controls, and identified social integration mechanisms through which the cancer experience influences patient-reported outcomes (PROs). MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred two AYA cancer survivors and 102 age, sex, and race-matched noncancer controls from a national Internet panel completed an online survey to identify up to 25 of closest friends and relatives whom they have contacted within the past 2 years. Participants' interpersonal connections were used to create a social network index. The Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and PROMIS-29 Profile were used to measure social support, perceived isolation or loneliness, and PROs (physical functioning, pain interference, fatigue, anxiety, and depression domains), respectively. Path analysis tested effects of cancer experience on PROs using serial social relationship variables as mediators.
resultsCompared with controls, survivors of lymphoma, leukemia, and solid tumor had better social networks; however, survivors of solid tumor and central nervous system malignancies had higher perceived loneliness (all
conclusionCompared with controls, survivors were more socially connected but experienced greater loneliness, which was associated with poorer PROs. Screening social integration issues during follow-up care and providing appropriate interventions are warranted.
