Care planning priorities of older patients with advanced bladder cancer.
Article in Journal of geriatric oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesAdvanced bladder cancer (ABC) disproportionately affects older adults, and little is known about older patients' priorities for care planning in advanced cancer. Patient-centered communication remains crucial to shared decision-making between patients, families, and providers. Yet, older patients with cancer may not always know how to express their preferences, and oncologists do not always review patients' informational needs. This study aimed to understand preferences of older patients with ABC related to their communication with providers and navigation of care planning. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis qualitative descriptive study involved in-depth interviews and focus groups with older patients with ABC and their care partners, which explored their priorities for care planning and communication with providers, decision-making processes, and valued traits in ABC care. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsTen participants attended focus groups or interviews. Seven patients were male and three care partners were female. The mean age was 74. Time since ABC diagnosis ranged from three to seventeen months. Four key themes illustrate participants' priorities in their ABC care as older adults: 1. The significance of key phrasing in communication from oncologists, 2. The need for clear expectation-setting about prognosis and treatment, 3. The role of others in patient care decisions, and 4. Valued traits in care communication.
conclusionOlder patients with ABC and their care partners are active participants in their care. Oncologists should prioritize setting clear expectations for treatment, involving family in care planning, and communicating honestly about expected changes to quality of life and functional status.
