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

purposeThe KLIK method is a tool to systematically monitor and discuss Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in clinical practice. It has been successfully used in clinical practice in The Netherlands, and has recently been implemented in survivorship care for young adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs). This study evaluates implementation fidelity and satisfaction of CCSs and healthcare practitioners (HCPs) with the KLIK method in survivorship care.

methodsCCSs' HRQOL was monitored using the KLIK questionnaire (PedsQL generic 18-30 years). In a mixed-methods design, implementation fidelity was based on registrations, and user satisfaction was assessed with evaluation surveys (CCSs) and semi-structured interviews (CCSs, HCPs). Descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis methods were used.

resultsA total of 245 CCSs were eligible for the study. Fidelity was 79.2% (194/245) for registration in the KLIK PROM portal, 89.7% (174/194) for completed KLIK questionnaires, 74.7% (130/174) for its discussion during consultation. Of the eligible CCSs, 17.6% (43/245) completed the study evaluation survey. Five CCSs and HCPs were invited for an interview and participated. CCSs (7.7/10) and HCPs (7.5/10) were satisfied with the KLIK method. Reported facilitators included increased insight into CCSs' functioning, improved preparation before, and communication during consultation, without lengthening consultation duration. Barriers included CCSs not always completing KLIK questionnaires, incomplete content of the KLIK questionnaire, and the need for customization for CCSs with cognitive disabilities.

conclusionThe KLIK method is a feasible and valuable tool to systematically monitor and discuss HRQOL in survivorship care. Integration of the KLIK method within the organization is essential, with structural support in reminding CCSs to complete questionnaires.
