Assessing the Needs of Patients with Cancer and Healthcare Professionals for a Digital Pain Management System: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 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
Objective: To understand the willingness of patients and healthcare workers to use, as well as their needs for, an intelligent cancer pain management platform. The findings will serve as a reference for developing cancer pain management tools in China. Methods: A Purposive sampling was used to conduct semi-structured interviews from March to June 2024 with patients experiencing chronic cancer pain, their family members, and healthcare workers in the oncology departments of two tertiary grade A hospitals in Shanghai, China. Data were analyzed using the Colaizzi's seven-step analysis. Results: The needs of patients and healthcare workers for a cancer pain management app were categorized into five themes, namely, recording of pain status, medication reminders, health education, social support, and artificial intelligence assistance. Conclusion: Future development of an advanced cancer pain management platform must address the multiple challenges currently faced in out-of-hospital cancer pain management, while also considering the needs and preferences of patients and healthcare workers. The platform should integrate features such as visualization of patients' pain trends, online medical education, peer support, real-time counseling, artificial intelligence assistance, and guidance for at-home self-management and supervision.
