Prevalence of psychological distress, quality of life, and satisfaction among patients and family members following comprehensive genomic profiling testing: Protocol of the Quality of life for Cancer genomics and Advanced Therapeutics (Q-CAT) study.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Precision medicine is rapidly changing the diagnostic and treatment spectrum of oncology. In May 2019, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) (somatic and/or germline) was approved for reimbursement in Japan. While the promise of novel and targeted therapies has elevated hopes for the benefits of CGP, the lack of relevant genomic findings and/or limited access to relevant therapies remain important themes in this field. These challenges may also negatively influence the psychology of both cancer patients and their family members. However, few studies have reported longitudinal data on quality of life (QOL) with CGP. Here, we report the protocol of a prospective study, Q-CAT (QOL for Cancer genomics and Advanced Therapeutics among patients and their family members), which aims to explore the mental burden on patients and families arising from the implementation of CGP testing by collecting real-world longitudinal data using outcomes obtained with an electronic patient report, known as ePRO. This study has been registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT1030200039).
