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

backgroundIn 2017, the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) published the guideline for palliative care in adults with glioma. The Italian Society of Neurology (SIN), the Italian Society for Palliative Care (SICP), and the Italian Association for Neuro-Oncology (AINO) joined forces to update the guideline, and adapt it to the Italian context.

aimWe involved patients, caregivers, and (herein presented) healthcare professionals (HPs) in the formulation of the guideline clinical questions. DESIGN AND

participantsOnline survey of Italian HPs experienced in the care of patients with glioma. Participants rated the importance of 14 pre-specified intervention topics on a 0/10 scale and gave their free comments.

resultsOf 244 participants, 149 (61%) were palliative medicine (PM) HPs and 95 Neuro HPs. Their mean age was 48.9 years, 63% were women, and 48% had over 12 years of experience in the care of glioma patients. Physicians were 68%, followed by nurses (28%), psychologists (7%), therapists (3%), and social workers (2%). Most HPs rated the pre-specified topics as important (score ≥ 7) or critical (score ≥ 9), with some differences between PM and Neuro HP groups. There were 58 free comments: 46 (78%) on nine pre-specified topics, and 13 on four new topics, three of which were guideline-pertinent ("caregiver's support and education"; "family physician's training in neuro-oncology"; and "PM HPs' training in neuro-oncology").

conclusionsParticipation in the survey was high and information-rich, between-group rating differences reflecting HP background. Participants endorsed the 14 intervention topics devised by the guideline panel and identified three additional topics.
