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

purposeManaging cancer-related fatigue requires individuals to adopt a range of self-management behaviours. However, clinicians report the lack of clear guidance on self-management support practices hinders their provision of supportive care. To develop consensus on a framework of core practices required by health professionals to deliver effective self-management support to cancer patients and survivors experiencing cancer-related fatigue.

methodsA preliminary framework of 47 practice items (14 Key Practices, 33 Practice Components) was derived from a systematic review, and a self-management support capability outline for primary care professionals. This preliminary framework was presented for consensus rating and comment in a two-round modified Delphi study conducted with a panel of health professionals, research academics, and cancer consumers.

resultsFifty-two panel participants comprising consumers (n = 25), health professionals (n = 19), and researchers (n = 16) were included in Round 1 of the modified Delphi study. Feedback from the panel produced consensus on retaining 27 of 47 original practice items without change. Seventeen items (including 12 modified, and 5 newly created practice items) were sent to the panel for rating in Round 2. Thirty-six experts produced consensus on retaining all 17 practice items in Round 2. The final framework comprised 44 items (13 Key Practices, 31 Practice Components).

conclusionsThe practice framework offers an evidence- and consensus-based model of best practice for health professionals providing self-management support for cancer-related fatigue. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: This framework is the first to focus on quality provision of self-management support in managing cancer-related fatigue, one of the most prevalent symptoms experienced by cancer patients and survivors.
