Japanese version of the cancer needs questionnaire-young people (CNQ-YP-J): translation and preliminary validation.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAdolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with cancer experience complex physical and psychosocial development as well as diverse lifestyle changes. Therefore, each patient may have generation-specific needs. This study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the Cancer Needs Questionnaire-Young People (CNQ-YP), namely the CNQ-YP-J, and to verify its reliability and validity among Japanese AYA patients with cancer.
methodsThe CNQ-YP-J was developed using a standardized translation methodology. Content validity was assessed by a group of experts, and a pilot test was conducted with six AYA cancer patients. A total of 87 AYA patients with cancer participated in this study. After exploratory factor analysis, the scale's reliability was examined using Cronbach's α, item-total correlations, and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of the retest. Criterion-related validity was analysed using correlations between total needs, concerns about physical effects, and quality of life (QOL).
resultsThe factor analysis revealed an eight-factor structure, different from the original scale, with one item excluded, resulting in a 69-item scale. Cronbach's α coefficient and ICC were above the minimum acceptable criterion of 0.70, demonstrating high reliability. Concerning criterion-related validity, high needs were positively correlated with high concerns about physical effects and negatively correlated with QOL.
conclusionsThe CNQ-YP-J developed in this study is a reliable and potentially valid scale that comprehensively assesses the needs of AYA cancer patients in the treatment environment as well as their daily lives. We hope that the use of this scale as a measure of the needs of AYA cancer patients in various settings, including clinical practice, will lead to the provision of optimal medical care and development of support systems, as well as the promotion of information.
