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

Objective: The purpose of this secondary analysis was to characterize the reliability, validity, and minimally clinically important difference (MCID) of change scores over time of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-CIPN-20 item (QLQ-CIPN20) in young adults receiving paclitaxel or vincristine. Methods: Fifty young adults receiving vincristine or paclitaxel for the treatment of cancer completed the QLQ-CIPN20 at three time points associated with increasing cumulative chemotherapy dose. The Subject Significance Questionnaire was completed at T3. The analyses were focused on the calculation of floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency reliability, longitudinal validity, construct validity, and the MCID using an anchor-based approach for the QLQ-CIPN20 sensory and motor subscales. Results: By T3, 50% and 52% of participants reported QLQ-CIPN20 sensory and motor subscale scores at the floor, respectively. The internal consistency reliability of the sensory ( Conclusions: Study results provided preliminary evidence surrounding the MCID for worsening of QLQ-CIPN20 scores using an anchor based on young adults' perceived change in CIPN severity. Further research is needed to develop psychometrically sound CIPN patient-reported outcome measures to effectively evaluate the impact of CIPN interventions among young adults.
