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

problem statementThe aims of this study were to characterize patients' distress, psychological symptoms, and resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to evaluate differences in the experiences, resilience, and psychological symptoms of patients with and without distress.

designConvergent parallel mixed-methods. DATA SOURCES: Semistructured interviews and structured questionnaires. ANALYSIS: Interview transcripts were analyzed using content analysis. Differences in demographic and clinical characteristics, depression, anxiety, and resilience were identified using chi-square, Fisher's exact, and independent sample t tests. Joint displays facilitated data integration and meta-inferences.

findingsOf 54 patients, 25 patients who were distressed were more likely to have low resilience, exhibit symptoms of anxiety and depression, report difficulty paying their bills, and identify as Hispanic. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: A patient-centered approach to cancer care in which clinicians assess psychological, social, and economic resources and make referrals to supportive care services is warranted.
