Time toxicity in cancer care: A concept analysis using Walker and Avant's method.
Review in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Objective: The purpose of this concept analysis was to explore and clarify the concept of time toxicity in the context of cancer care using Walker and Avant's method, identify its defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences, and explore its implications for cancer care. Methods: Walker and Avant's eight-step method was employed to analyze time toxicity. The literature was reviewed, focusing on peer-reviewed articles, grey literature, and cancer care policy documents to identify the defining attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents of time toxicity. Contextual factors, such as health care infrastructure and socioeconomic status, shape the manifestation of time toxicity in different patient populations. Model, borderline, and contrary cases were developed to clarify the concept further. Results: Time toxicity is characterized by its defining attributes of temporal burden, disruption of daily life, cumulative effect, opportunity cost, and emotional strain. Antecedents include cancer diagnosis, complex treatment regimens, and health care inefficiencies, while consequences involve reduced quality of life, non-adherence to treatment, and economic strain. Empirical referents include time logs, patient-reported outcomes, and health care utilization data. Conclusions: Our findings underscore the multidimensional nature of time toxicity and its significant implications for cancer patients' well-being. Importantly, we highlight the vital role of oncology nurses in mitigating its effects through care coordination and patient support, thereby making our research directly applicable to clinical practice.
