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

Cancer care organizations often struggle to adequately address the unique needs of adolescent and young adult cancer patients, resulting in poorer outcomes compared with other age groups. Creation of adolescent and young adult cancer programs serves to bridge this gap and improve quality of care for this population. We aimed to describe the evolution and impact of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Program. To do so, we conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing electronic health record data matched with North Carolina Cancer Registry data from 2014 to 2022. Between 2014 and 2022, a total of 4016 adolescents and young adults (aged 13-39 years) received cancer care at the University of North Carolina Medical Center, with 670 having contact with the Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Program. Program-contacted patients were younger, more likely to be non-Hispanic Black race, and more likely to have metastatic disease or hematologic malignancies. We saw a steady increase in patient volume over the study period, corresponding with program growth.
