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.

Abstract

purposeAdvances in cancer detection and treatment have extended cancer survivors' (CSs) life expectancy, but their evolving health needs remain unmet. This study analyzes 14 patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for CSs with non-cutaneous cancers using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. These 14 PROMs are derived from a recent review focusing on the implementation of the routine assessment of unmet needs in cancer survivors.

methodsEach PROM was examined for correspondence to ICF health and functioning dimensions. Two independent reviewers extracted meaningful concepts from each PROM item, linking them to ICF categories. Discrepancies were resolved through discussion with a third expert reviewer.

resultsPROMs varied in ICF component correspondence, with "Activities and Participation" (37.2%) and "Environmental Factors" (31.8%) most frequently represented, highlighting their significance. "Body Structures" (1%) received minimal attention, suggesting its limited relevance to CSs' needs. The results of the linking process show the differences between the various PROMs: Candi and eHNA were primarily linked to "Body Function" (53.4% and 51.4%, respectively), NEQ and SUN to "Activities and Participation," and CaSUN and PNI to "Environmental Factors" (51.7% and 50%, respectively), while eHNA had the highest percentage of items linked to "Body Structures" (8.1%).

conclusionsThis evaluation of PROMs enhances the understanding of CSs' diverse needs so as to address them, thereby improving these individuals' quality of life. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: The study underscores the importance of addressing "Activities and Participation" and "Environmental Factors" in PROMs for CSs. These insights support developing comprehensive PROMs and help healthcare providers prioritize critical areas of survivorship care, ultimately enhancing CSs' well-being.
