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

Unlabelled: While patient-reported outcome measures are regularly incorporated into phase 3 clinical trials, they have been infrequently used in early phase trials. However, the patient's perspective is vital to fully understanding dose toxicity and selecting an optimal dose. This viewpoint paper reviews the rationale for and practical approach to collecting patient-reported outcome data in early phase oncology drug development and the rationale for electronic collection.
