1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveColorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked the second most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in Jordan. This paper aims to explore the unmet supportive care needs (USCNs), and their predictors among Jordanian survivors with CRC.

methodsA cross-sectional descriptive correlational research design with a convenience sample of 180 patients with CRC was conducted. Participants completed the Supportive Care Needs Survey-Short Form 34.

resultsJordanian patients with CRC reported their highest perceived level of need in the information and psychological domains. Multiple linear regression revealed that income and the number of chemotherapy sessions were significant predictors in the physical and daily living domains. Age, type of surgical treatment, and type of clinical setting were significant predictors of USCN in the psychological, patient care and support, and the health system and information domains.

conclusionsThe health-care systems should work to meet all the supportive care needs for patients with CRC, particularly the informational and psychological needs domains where patients express unmet needs. Special care should be given according to age, type of surgery, and the doses of chemotherapy received. This study further confirms a disparity in the care and support provided to Jordanian cancer patients with different health-care settings in the country.
