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

Purpose: Cancer treatment can have consequences for individuals which may have profound impact on daily living. Accessing assistance can be problematic. This study explores associations between income and concerns, help-seeking, and unmet needs related to physical changes following cancer treatment. Method: A national survey was conducted with cancer survivors about experiences with follow-up care one to three years after treatment. We report a trend analysis describing associations between income and cancer survivors' concerns, help-seeking, and unmet needs related to physical changes after treatment. Results: In total 5,283 cancer survivors between 18 and 64 years responded, of which 4,264 (80.7%) indicated annual household income. The majority of respondents were survivors of breast (34.4%), colorectal (15.0%), and prostate (14.0%) cancers. Over 90% wrote about experiencing physical changes following cancer treatment. Survivors with low annual household incomes of less than $25,000 (CAN) reported the highest levels of concern about multiple physical changes and were more likely to seek help to address them. Conclusions: Cancer survivors can experience various physical challenges and unmet needs following cancer treatment and difficulty obtaining relevant help across all income levels. Those with low income are more severely affected. Financial assessment and tailored follow-up are recommended.
