Treatment Outcomes and Its Associated Factors Among Adult Patients with Selected Solid Malignancies at Kenyatta National Hospital: A Hospital-Based Prospective Cohort Study.

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
Introduction: The treatment outcome of cancer is poor in the African setting due to inadequate treatment and diagnostic facilities. However, there is a paucity of data on solid cancers in Kenya. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the treatment outcomes and its determinant factors among adult patients diagnosed with selected solid malignancies at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was employed at the Oncology Department of KNH from 1 Results: The study showed that the mortality rate among breast and prostate cancer patients was 3% and 4.9%, respectively. In contrast, the mortality rate was 10% among lymphoma patients. Most of the patients had partial remission and a good overall global health-related quality of life. Older age above 60 years, co-morbidity, distant metastasis and advanced stages of disease were significant predictors of mortality. Conclusion: Although the mortality was not high at 12 months, only a few patients had complete remission. For many patients, the disease was progressing, despite 12-month mortality was not high. Therefore, longer follow-up will be required to report cancer mortality accurately. In addition, most of the patients had a good overall global health-related quality of life.
