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: Despite the impact of cognitive decline during brain cancer care, implementing routine cognitive assessment can be challenging. Effective implementation of cognitive assessment necessitates an understanding of implementation from the patient perspective. However, little is known about how people with glioma and their caregivers experience cognitive changes, assessment and support. Objective: To understand the lived experiences of changes in cognition for people with glioma and their caregivers including experiences of: i) perceived or objectively measured cognitive decline (or absence of decline); ii) cognitive assessment following diagnosis, and; iii) met and unmet cognition-related supportive care needs. Design: Semi-structured qualitative telephone interviews were conducted with people with gliomas and support persons and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Settings: Two Australian cancer services. Participants: 18 people with glioma and caregivers. Methods: Semi-structured qualitative telephone interviews were conducted with people with gliomas and caregivers and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: People with glioma ( Conclusions: Changes to cognition can have considerable impacts of people with glioma and their caregivers which may be overshadowed by treatment and survival. A multi-disciplinary approach to timely cognitive screening, structured referral pathways, and communication with caregivers may provide opportunities for support. Registration: n/a. Tweetable abstract: Identifying cognitive changes in people with glioma is important and challenging. A multidisciplinary approach and inclusion of care coordination and caregivers can help.
