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

purposeClinical specialists are supposed to inform childhood cancer patients of infertility risk and conduct fertility preservation (FP). However, little is known about whether doctors in China are fully prepared. This study aimed to investigate behavior, attitude, perception, and knowledge regarding FP among pediatric oncological specialists in a nation wide survey, to set the stage for improvements in current clinical practice patterns.

methodsThis study was conducted on physicians and surgeons specialized in pediatric oncology using a questionnaire through the WeChat platform. The behavior, attitude, perception, and knowledge were assessed by Likert questions and results were quantified to obtain scores. Data were then described and analyzed using R and GraphPad.

resultsTotally 373 specialists in pediatric tumors were included in the analysis. Hematologists, oncological surgeons, and reproductive medicine specialists won most trusts to be responsible for FP job. Most respondents did not have habits of delivering FP information or cooperating with FP specialists during treatment though they were well equipped with FP knowledge and desired for uniform national guideline for FP procedures. The severity of illness was regarded as the primary barrier of FP delivery. When a doctor was more educated and experienced, he was more likely to have better performance in FP. The total score, the knowledge score, and the single score concerning frequency of patients' inquiry showed aggregational trend on geographic distribution.

conclusionChinese pediatric oncologists demonstrated unsatisfactory practice behaviors based upon this self-reporting survey, although their attitude towards FP was generally positive.
