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

purposeAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer diagnosed among individuals <14 years of age. The disease and its treatments are associated with negative side effects, including pain, which is both prevalent and distressing. Little is known about pain experiences in this population, which has slowed efforts to identify strategies to mitigate and cope with this adverse effect. This study sought to explore youth's and their caregiver's experiences with, and perspectives of, pain in the context of pediatric cancer treatment.

methodsYouth and one of their caregivers were recruited through (omitted for peer review). Following completion of a demographic survey, youth and one of their caregivers were interviewed separately using a semi-structured, one-on-one interview guide. Demographic information was analyzed with descriptive statistics, and interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.

resultsYouth (n = 19; M

conclusionsFindings extend prior work, suggesting that pain is common, distressing, multidimensional, and influenced by social context. Results highlight the number of ways in which youth and their caregivers attempt to manage their pain and factors influencing pain experiences. Greater efforts are needed to address pain during cancer treatment and survivorship.
