The Unmet Supportive Care Needs of Omani Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
Article in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the unmet supportive care needs of Omani women with breast cancer (BC). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to February 2021 among 250 adult Omani women diagnosed with BC at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman. An Arabic version of the 34-item Supportive Care Needs Survey-Short Form tool was used to determine perceived unmet supportive care needs across five domains. Results: A total of 181 women participated in the study (response rate: 72.4%). The domain with the highest mean score per item was health system and information (mean score: 3.33), with the greatest unmet need in this domain being information about what the patient could do to help themselves get well (40.9%). The domain with the second highest mean score per item was patient care and support (mean score: 3.04), with the greatest unmet need being for clinicians to be more sincere with the patient (36.5%). Higher total mean scores were reported by women who had visited the hospital four times or more over the two months preceding the study ( Conclusion: Most unmet supportive care needs fell under the health system and information domain. Healthcare providers in Oman should explore patient concerns and provide sufficient information at various stages of the care process to decrease the anxiety associated with living with cancer.
