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

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore the experiences among cervical cancer patients during follow-up care. Patients and Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with purposively selected cervical cancer patients receiving follow-up treatment at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed via thematic analysis. Results: The results obtained in this study indicated that women experienced a variety of physical and psychosocial difficulties in the context of cervical cancer care. The data analysis resulted in five themes. Women have undergone difficulties indicated as lack of satisfaction with the health care experience, dealing with treatment side effects, struggle in work and daily life, having stress, disruption in social relationships, and financial difficulties incurred because of their illness and treatment. Conclusion: This study highlights that cervical cancer patient's experience is the outcome of a complex interplay by personal, clinical, psychological, and social spheres. Thus, interdisciplinary approach between health and psychosocial professionals is needed during follow-up care in order to help women experience better psychosocial adjustment.
