Children with cancer and their families after active treatment: analyses of biopsychosocial needs and implications for healthcare - a study protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionPatients and families affected by paediatric cancer experience psychosocial burden not only during active treatment but also during follow-up care. Use of health services during follow-up treatment should be organised according to patients' and family members' needs with regard to their physical and mental situation. This study aims (1) at analysing healthcare use (medical and psychosocial) and associated factors in follow-up care of paediatric cancer patients and (2) at investigating the psychosocial situation and support needs of children and their families during follow-up care. Based on the results, recommendations for healthcare planning and for the development of new and the optimisation of existing support offers will be derived. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will conduct a prospective observational study using a naturalistic explorative design with quantitative and qualitative methods. Paediatric cancer patients in follow-up care, their parents and siblings will be invited to fill out a questionnaire at three measurement points (baseline, 6 months follow-up, 12 months follow-up; target n=252 complete data sets over all measurement points). Additionally, parents will be interviewed using a semistructured interview guideline (target n=15-20) at baseline. Quantitative data will be analysed using descriptive statistics, linear mixed models and regression models. Moreover, explorative analyses will be conducted. Qualitative data will be analysed using qualitative content analyses. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study was approved by the Local Psychological Ethics Committee (LPEK-0281). Our findings will be published in scientific, peer-reviewed journals and presented to clinicians and researchers on conferences. To assure that results will be available to affected patients and families, a lay summary will be written and disseminated using several ways (upload on the homepage of the research group, upload on the homepage of the psychosocial working group in the Society for Paediatric Oncology/Haematology in Germany, sending to relevant patient organisations). TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: DRKS00025289.
