Identification and Determination of Dimensions of Health-Related Quality of Life for Cancer Patients in Routine Care - A Qualitative Study.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: Continuous patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to identify and address patients' needs represent an important addition to current routine care. The aim of this study was to identify and determine important dimensions of health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in routine oncological care. Methods: In a cross-sectional qualitative study, interviews and focus groups were carried out and recorded. The interviewees were asked for their evaluation on HrQoL in general and specifically regarding cancer treatment. The material was transcribed and analyzed using qualitative content analysis based on Mayring. The results were reviewed in an expert discussion. Results: Interviews with patients ( Conclusion: The identified dimensions of HrQoL in routine oncological care were found to differ from those used in existing HrQoL measurements for (cancer) patients. Further research is needed to test and evaluate the presented structure in a larger sample of cancer patients to further assess its psychometric properties.
