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

Purpose: This study employs a qualitative research methodology to explore the genuine feelings of older patients with colorectal cancer (OPCRC) regarding their Supportive Care Needs (SCNs), to understand their specific care requirements and to inform the clinical implementation of targeted intervention programs. Methods: Qualitative research was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 in Zhengzhou, China. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with OPCRC. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key themes from the interview transcripts. Results: A total of 25 participants were recruited, comprising 18 males and 7 females. Thematic analysis revealed four themes and 13 sub-themes: 1) disease management needs, 2) information acquisition needs, 3) emotional support needs, and 4) practical needs. Conclusion: It is essential to prioritize the care needs of OPCRC by enhancing symptomatic management and providing comprehensive information support. Additionally, addressing their emotional well-being is crucial, and effective social assistance should be offered to facilitate their reintegration into society.
