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

purposeThe incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising in people under age 50 (early-onset). Early-onset survivors face CRC during a critical point in their lives; many are establishing their families and careers. We sought to identify the unmet needs in a sample of early-onset CRC survivors and the resources they desired to address those needs.

methodsWe conducted a mixed methods study where participants completed the Cancer Survivors Unmet Needs (CaSUN) survey and a subsequent qualitative interview to expand on their unmet needs and desired resources.

resultsA total of 12 CRC survivors participated and 83% identified at least one unmet need, with an average of 13 unmet needs reported. Unmet needs were identified across every domain of the CaSUN measure, most commonly in the existential survivorship domain. Qualitative results demonstrated that survivors need more resources tailored for people their age and additional support for their families, including young children.

conclusionEarly-onset CRC survivors' needs are framed by the stage of their lives in which they are diagnosed, and the demand for interventions to support these survivors will continue to rise. The results of this study can inform future, tailored interventions for early-onset CRC survivors with substantial needs.
