Efficacy of the PRO-CTCAE mobile application for improving patient participation in symptom management during cancer treatment: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04568278 (Effect of a Mobile Application System Using the Patient Reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 6 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
purposeAlthough mobile-based symptom monitoring is expected to improve patient participation in symptom management during anticancer therapy, previous trials have not evaluated its effectiveness. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the impact of a symptom monitoring mobile application on improving patient participation in symptom management during anticancer therapy.
methodsWe conducted a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial that enrolled patients with breast, lung, head and neck, esophageal, or gynecologic cancer who were scheduled to receive anticancer therapy (oral or intravenous) between October 2020 and March 2021. We excluded patients with physical or psychological problems. The intervention group received a symptom monitoring application for 8 weeks, and the control group received the usual clinical practice. At 8 weeks, the improvement in patient participation in symptom management was assessed, and additionally quality of life and unplanned clinical visits were assessed.
resultsA total of 222 patients were included in the analysis, of whom 142 were randomly assigned to the intervention group and 71 to the control group. The intervention group reported better outcome in patient participation in symptom management than the control group at 8 weeks (mean scores of 8.5 vs. 8.0; P = 0.01). There were no significant differences between the groups in Quality of life (P = 0.88) and unplanned clinical visits (P = 0.39-0.76).
conclusionsThis study is meaningful in figuring out that the mobile-based symptom monitoring made them more engaged in their management. Future research should continue to evaluate the effects of patient participation as mediators of clinical outcomes.
