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: Breast cancer and its treatment are associated with cancer-related cognitive impairments (CRCI). Cognitive ecological momentary assessments (EMA) allow for the assessment of individual subjective and objective cognitive functioning in real world environments and can be easily administered via smartphones. The objective of this study was to establish the feasibility, reliability, and validity of a cognitive EMA platform, NeuroUX, for assessing CRCI in breast cancer survivors. Methods: Using a prospective design, clinical cognitive assessments (neuropsychological testing; patient reported outcomes) were collected at baseline, followed by an 8-week EMA smartphone protocol assessing self-reported cognitive concerns and objective cognitive performance via mobile cognitive tests once per day, every other day. Satisfaction and feedback questions were included in follow-up data collection. Feasibility data were analyzed using descriptive methods. Test-retest reliability was examined using intraclass correlation coefficients for each cognitive EMA (tests and self-report questions), and Pearson's correlation was used to evaluate convergent validity between cognitive EMAs and baseline clinical cognitive variables. Results: 105 breast cancer survivors completed the EMA protocol with high adherence (87.3%) and high satisfaction (mean 87%). Intraclass correlation coefficients for all cognitive EMAs were strong (>0.73) and correlational findings indicated moderately strong convergent validity (|0.23| < Conclusion: Fully remote, self-administered cognitive testing for 8-weeks on smartphones was feasible in breast cancer survivors who completed adjuvant treatment and the specific cognitive EMAs (cognitive EMA tests and self-report questions) administered demonstrate strong reliability and validity for CRCI.
