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

The treatment paradigm in older patients with malignant hemopathies is the choice between an effective conservative treatment that preserves quality of life and an intensive, potentially curative treatment with more toxicities. For each patient, it is important to determine the risk/benefit ratio. The patient should be involved in the discussion, sufficiently informed and able to express himself and his expectations in terms of quality of life. However, this informed consent is conditioned by the ability of the patient to understand the risks and benefits of the treatment. Decline in quality of life is an important parameter for older patients with cancer and many prospective trials have now confirmed the impact of different side effects of treatment, such as recurrent hospitalization, loss of autonomy in daily activities, loss of contact with grandchildren and loss of cognitive functions. Interventions oriented to vulnerabilities detected in the older patients (by comprehensive geriatric assessment) and an optimal approach, including preventive measures to reduce treatment-related toxicity and mortality, are directly correlated to improvement in quality of life.
