Barriers and Facilitators for the Implementation of Geriatric Oncology Principles in Mexico: A Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in JCO global oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThere is limited information regarding the use of the geriatric assessment (GA) for older adults with cancer in developing countries. We aimed to describe geriatric oncology practice among Mexican oncology professionals and to identify barriers and facilitators for the implementation of GA into the routine care of older adults with cancer in Mexico.
methodsWe conducted an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study. We administered an online survey to cancer specialists in Mexico about the routine use of GA and barriers for its use. We then conducted online semistructured interviews with survey respondents selected by their use of GA, expanding on barriers and facilitators for performing GA. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed for quantitative data; qualitative data were analyzed inductively through thematic analysis. We developed joint displays to integrate quantitative/qualitative results.
resultsWe obtained 196 survey responses: 37 physicians (18.9%) reported routinely performing a GA. Medical oncologists (
conclusionThe routine use of geriatric oncology principles in Mexico is limited by the availability of qualified personnel and by insufficient knowledge. An educational intervention could improve the implementation of GA in cancer care.
