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

background and aim of the workBreast cancer (CM) is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in Italy and the most common malignancy in women (25%) with 53,000 new cases. This disease affects all age groups (1 in 40 women <49 years, 1 in 20 between 50 and 69 years, 1 in 25 between 70 and 84 years). The percentage of patients diagnosed with cancer within 5 years of diagnosis is higher than for other cancers, and this conviction rate in these cancer patients has increased, leading to an ever-improving level of attention. The research aims to understand the main needs of women with breast cancer, compare them with those reported in the literature and in particular to identify which of these are still unsatisfied. Method The study is based on the use of the narrative interview conducted by the Case Manager, in the Breast Unit of Melegnano (Milan), selected with a sampling of convenience.The participants who joined the research project were 12 women with breast cancer, aged between 40 and 60, who are in the active treatment phase of the disease.

resultsAs highlighted by literature, various unmet needs have emerged, afferent to well-defined areas: emotional health, continuity of care, information, adverse effects, educational strategies, economics, information and social support. The study showed that, the needs that are most unsatisfied relate to the information area and the psychological area.

conclusionThe interviews conducted underlined the importance of the role of the Case Care Manager as a facilitator of the disease path that patients are experiencing both in terms of the clinical and psychological aspects but also as a support in managing daily life. future research should investigate the role of the Case Vare manager in meeting these needs.
