Perspectives of Participation in Daily Life From Cancer Survivors: A Qualitative Analysis.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objective: To characterize how survivors of cancer define participation. Design: Cross-sectional qualitative study. Setting: Participants were enrolled from a large academic medical center in the Midwestern United States. Interviews were conducted over Zoom or phone. Participants: Survivors of cancer (N=40) with brain, breast, colorectal, or lung cancer (n=10 per group). Participants were purposively sampled to maximize variation in the study sample. Participant ages ranged from 26-83 years, with a mean age of 55 years. Seventy percent of participants were receiving active cancer treatment at the time of the interview. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Participant perspectives gathered from 1-on-1 semistructured interviews. Qualitative description and thematic analysis were used to analyze interview transcripts and develop themes from the data. Results: Survivors described participation as doing valued activities and highlighted 4 common aspects: (1) control; (2) social connection; (3) engaging in various contexts; and (4) cultivation of joy and purpose. Fully participating in life involved being able to do what they want to do without restrictions or limitations. Survivors' perspectives of control outlined how competence, choice, adaptations, and locus of control influence broader feelings of control and participation. Interviews highlighted that participation remains central to daily life among survivors of cancer. Conclusions: Rehabilitation researchers and clinicians need to establish a standard and comprehensive definition of participation. Rehabilitation providers need to consistently evaluate how participation is affected among survivors of cancer and use measures that include core aspects of participation identified in this study and previous research. Comprehensively defining participation will improve the design and selection of measurement tools and support comprehensive assessment of survivor experiences.
