Symptom Cluster Assessment Tools for Gastric Cancer Care in China: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2024. 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
Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor, and its incidence rate ranks first among malignant tumors of the digestive tract, seriously endangering human physical and mental health. Changes in the physiological state of gastric cancer patients can bring about many physical and psychological symptoms and have a serious impact on their quality of life. Symptom clusters are 2 or more concurrently occurring and interrelated symptoms, with the core symptoms within the cluster remaining stable over time and the symptoms in the cluster being independent of each other. The prerequisite for solving this problem is to screen out appropriate symptom assessment tools according to the clinical situation. The aim of this study was to provide a reference for the development of assessment tools suitable for symptom clusters of gastric cancer patients in China, and to provide evidence for the subsequent optimization of symptom management and some clinical decisions. The contents, application, advantages, and disadvantages of symptom cluster assessment tools for gastric cancer patients in China and abroad were reviewed, and the basic situation and contents of each assessment tool were compared. In China, most of the assessment tools used in domestic gastric cancer research institutes were imported from foreign scales, with a long time span and low specificity for symptoms in various stages of disease development at present. Scholars should be encouraged to develop time-specific assessment tools for the disease characteristics of gastric cancer patients in China, and actively explore the pathogenesis and influencing factors of symptom clusters in this population.
