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

introductionAn initial version of the Reengagement Life Goal Assessment Tool for Cancer Survivors (ReGAT-C) was designed to measure the quality of life goal-setting practice conducted by responsible healthcare professionals along with nonterminal cancer survivors undergoing inpatient cancer treatment. This study aimed to test content validity of the ReGAT-C and revise it.

methodsEleven experts and nine healthcare professionals participated in this study. Content validity assessments using questionnaires and focus group interviews were conducted with experts. Cognitive interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals. The content validity index was calculated based on expert questionnaires, and these interview data were analyzed by inductive and deductive approaches. When the ReGAT-C was substantially revised, it was retested through questionnaires.

resultsThe initial version of the ReGAT-C was substantially revised and three new items were added, resulting in the development of a revised version of the ReGAT-C with 21 items. All participants re-evaluated the ReGAT-C, and the revised version was verified to have content validity.

conclusionsThe revised ReGAT-C would contribute to enabling healthcare professionals to assess whether they are based on collaboration with cancer survivors and multidisciplinary teams by reflecting on their own life goal-setting practice.
