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

purposeThis study aimed to examine the difference in HRQoL by participants' characteristics and to investigate the determinants of health-related quality of life HRQoL among Omani hospitalized patients with cancer.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in two oncology centers in Oman. Omani hospitalized patients with breast, thyroid, colorectal, stomach, and prostate cancer were recruited using convenience sampling. Participants completed Arabic versions of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to measure sleep quality, Brief Fatigue Inventory scales to measure fatigue, and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy to measure HRQoL. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. T-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analysis were utilized to determine predictors of HRQOL.

resultsIn total, 275 participants were recruited (Mean

conclusionsThis study highlights the impact of age, cancer type, sleep quality, and cancer-related fatigue on the HRQoL in hospitalized patients with cancer. Thus, sleep quality and cancer-related fatigue should be assessed routinely during the hospitalization of oncology patients with unique attention to patients' age and cancer type.
