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

purposeDescribe the feasibility and implementation of an electronic health record (EHR)-integrated symptom and needs screening and referral system in a diverse racial/ethnic patient population in ambulatory oncology.

methodsData were collected from an ambulatory oncology clinic at the University of Miami Health System from October 2019 to January 2021. Guided by a Patient Advisory Board and the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment model,

resultsFrom 1,232 assigned assessments, more than half (n = 739 assessments; 60.0%) were initiated by 506 unique patients. A total of 65.4% of English and 49.9% of Spanish assessments were initiated. Among all initiated assessments, the majority (85.1%) were completed at home via the patient portal. The most common endorsed items were nutritional needs (32.9%), followed by emotional symptoms (ie, depression and anxiety; 27.8%), practical needs (eg, financial concerns; 21.7%), and physical symptoms (17.6%). Across the physical symptom, social work, and nutrition-related alerts, 77.1%, 99.7%, and 78.8%, were addressed, respectively, by the corresponding oncology health professional, social work team member, or nutritionist.

conclusionThe results demonstrate encouraging feasibility and initial acceptability of implementing an EHR-integrated symptom and needs screening and referral system among diverse oncology patients. To our knowledge, this is the first EHR-integrated symptom and needs screening system implemented in routine oncology care for Spanish-speaking Hispanics/Latinos.
