Discrepancy in the perception of symptoms among patients and healthcare providers after lung cancer surgery.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
purposePatients who undergo surgery for lung cancer experience a variety of symptoms, such as pain and coughing, which interfere with their postoperative daily functions. However, there may be differences between the perception of symptoms among healthcare providers and patients. This study aimed to investigate patients' experiences after lung cancer surgery and analyze whether the perception of postoperative symptoms among the healthcare providers differed from that reported by patients.
methodsSemi-structured qualitative interviews involving 39 patients who underwent lung cancer surgery at the Sichuan Cancer Hospital were conducted between November 2018 and October 2019. In addition, 22 healthcare providers from the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the hospital answered open-ended questions about their perception of symptoms related to lung cancer surgery. The types and frequencies of symptoms reported by the patients and healthcare providers were compared.
resultsThe most frequent patient-reported symptoms were pain (967 times, 39 patients, 100%), coughing (904 times, 37 patients, 94.87%), shortness of breath (491 times, 35 patients, 89.74%), Disturbed sleep (412 times, 34 patients, 87.18%), and interference while walking (347 times, 36 patients, 92.31%). Of the patient-reported symptoms, the first four were perceived by the healthcare providers, while they interpreted interference while walking as fatigue.
conclusionAlthough the healthcare providers and patients had a certain consensus on the main symptoms, there were differences in perception. Healthcare providers need to pay more attention to postoperative interference while walking.
