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

BACKGROUND & GOALS: Patients with new cancer diagnoses have unique needs. In this study, we explored the technological needs and preferences of new cancer patients and the challenges to technology use among these patients.

methodsWe used qualitative data from semi-structured interviews to identify the new cancer patients' technology preferences. Interviews were recorded and then transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify the technology perceptions of new cancer patients, their technology needs, and the challenges of technology.

resultsMost of the patients preferred mhealth technologies over other types of technologies to be used in their care management. The primary needs related to potential features in these technologies include access to information just in time, convenience, access to home care, self-management, privacy, interaction, and personalization. Patients also reported challenges of current technologies they utilized, including usability, impersonality, interoperability, and cost-effectiveness.

conclusionAddressing patients' needs to increase uptake and efficient use of technologies in cancer care is critical. Growing clinical and consumer informatics technologies can potentially help cancer management if designed by employing user-centered approaches.
