Point-of-care assessment of sexual concerns among young adult oncology active patients and survivors.
Article 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. 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
purposeAdolescent and young adult (AYA) oncology populations have unique sexual health concerns that deserve more attention. Our study aimed to describe sexual health and related concerns in young adults (YAs) to move toward integrating sexual health into routine care.
methodsA total of 127 YAs (ages 19-39) in active treatment and survivorship from three outpatient oncology clinics provided demographic and clinical information. They completed versions of the NCCN Distress Thermometer and Problem List (AYA-POST; AYA-SPOST) developed specifically for AYAs as part of an ongoing needs assessment study.
resultsOver one quarter (27.6%) of the total sample (M
conclusionThe current study adds to the important and burgeoning literature on sexual health concerns of YAs oncology populations. The prevalence of sexual concerns, differences between treatment status and between those with and without sexual concerns highlight the utility and need to embed screening that includes sexual health items at point of care. This can facilitate discussion of these sensitive and multifaceted needs throughout the cancer continuum.
