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

backgroundWe assessed the impact of breast cancer (BC) patients receiving their own patient-reported outcome (PRO) results on future PROs.

methodsNewly diagnosed female BC patients completed validated measures of satisfaction with breasts (SB), and psychosocial (PsyW), physical (PhW), and sexual wellbeing (SW) longitudinally during treatment. Patients were randomized to receive their PRO scores (Intervention) or not (Control). The primary outcome was difference in PRO scores from baseline to 1-year post-surgery. T- and chi

results131 patients (70 intervention, 61 control) completed baseline and 1-year modules; groups were well-balanced. At 1-year, the intervention group had less improvement in PsyW compared to controls with a t-test (mean difference: 1.2 vs 8.3, p ​= ​0.04); this difference did not remain in mixed models (intervention group effect estimate (SE) 1.7 (2.1) vs control group 7.0 (2.2), p ​= ​0.08). Changes in SB, PhW, and SW did not differ.

conclusionsAccess to individual PRO scores throughout treatment did not improve BC patients' future PROs.
