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

purposeMultimorbidity is common in people with cancer and associated with increased complexity of care, symptoms, mortality, and costs. This study aimed to identify priorities for care and research for cancer survivors with multimorbidity.

methodsA Delphi consensus process was conducted. Elements of care and research were based on Australia's National Strategic Framework for Chronic Conditions, a literature review, and expert input. In Round 1, health professionals, cancer survivors, and researchers rated the importance of 18 principles, 9 enablers, and 4 objectives. In Round 2, new elements were rated and all elements were ranked.

resultsIn Round 1, all elements reached consensus for care delivery; three principles and one enabler did not reach consensus for research and were eliminated. One principle and two enablers were added, reaching consensus. In the final list, 19 principles, 10 enablers, and 4 objectives were included under care delivery; 14 principles, 9 enablers, and 4 objectives were included under research. For care delivery, principles of 'survivorship' and 'self-management' were ranked highest, and 'peer support' and 'technology' were the most important enablers. For research, 'survivorship' and 'coordinated care' were the highest-ranked principles, with 'peer support' and 'education' the most important enablers.

conclusionMost elements apply to the general population and cancer survivors; however, additional elements relevant to survivorship need consideration when managing multimorbidity in cancer survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Chronic disease frameworks should be more inclusive of issues prioritised by people with, managing, or researching cancer through interdisciplinary approaches including acute and primary care.
