Symptom clusters and symptom network analysis during immunotherapy in lung cancer patients.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
objectiveThis study analyzes symptoms in lung cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy to identify core symptom clusters through network analysis and lay a foundation for effective symptom management programs.
methodsThe sample comprised 240 lung cancer patients receiving immunotherapy. Participants were assessed using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale. Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract symptom clusters, and network analysis using JASP 0.17.3 was performed to explore the centrality indices and density of the symptom network.
resultsFive symptom clusters were identified, i.e., emotion-related, lung cancer-related, physical, skin, and neural symptom clusters, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 55.819%. Network analysis revealed that sadness was the most intense symptom (r
conclusionThis study identified five symptom clusters and a symptom network among lung cancer patients during immunotherapy. The network analysis's centrality indices and network density results can assist healthcare professionals in devising more precise symptom management strategies.
