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

introductionAlthough cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer, research describing the patient experience is limited. This study sought to create a conceptual model of non-metastatic disease, to assess patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments commonly used in CSCC against this model, and to develop a patient-relevant measurement strategy for evaluating the benefit of new therapies.

methodsResearchers conducted a literature review, a review of patient blogs, and interviews with dermatologists to draft the conceptual model. A total of 22 patients with CSCC participated in 60-min phone interviews, which were subsequently transcribed, coded, and analyzed; the conceptual model was then updated. PRO instruments used in CSCC were assessed for content validity on the basis of this.

resultsThe CSCC patient experience includes physical symptoms, psychological impacts, and behavior changes. Existing PRO instruments were assessed against the conceptual model using targeted subdomains considered to be relevant for assessing clinical benefit. Four modules of the FACE-Q

conclusionsThis research provides a comprehensive understanding of the experience of patients with non-metastatic CSCC, and the effects of its treatment. It also identifies unmet needs in a subgroup of patients reporting negative treatment experiences. Further cognitive debriefing and psychometric analysis of de novo items are warranted for applications in clinical research.
