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

objectiveThis qualitative study aimed to analyse rectal cancer survivors' lived experiences to identify facilitators and barriers to support access.

designWe conducted one-on-one semi-structured interviews and employed thematic analysis to identify key themes and insights. SETTING/

participantsParticipants included eight rectal cancer survivors and three caregivers recruited at Texas Colorectal Collaborative sites.

resultsResults showed that adequate hospital resources, high health literacy and close connections with clinicians and peers who share similar experiences facilitate survivors' access to social support. Conversely, ineffective healthcare team communication, financial challenges and low self-motivation hindered access.

conclusionSurvivorship experiences were shaped by varying degrees of social support access, influenced by internal and external factors. We aim to establish a cross-institutional survivorship support network to address these factors, ensuring equitable access to support services and enhancing survivorship experiences.
