Challenges of Ovarian Cancer Patient and Caregiver Online Health Information Seeking.
Article in Proceedings of the Association for Information Science and Technology. Association for Information Science and Technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Ovarian cancer (OvCa) patients and caregivers have constant and evolving information needs. To meet their needs, they seek information from various resources, including online health information. Although about 60% of cancer patients are now using the Internet to meet their information needs, little is known about online health information seeking (OHIS) among OvCa patients and caregivers. To address this gap, we interviewed 18 OvCa patients and 2 family caregivers of OvCa patients and conducted content analysis on the transcribed data. We identified three challenges of OHIS: (1) lack of OvCa-related knowledge, (2) poor quality of online information, and (3) inherent characteristics of OvCa, such as the high complexity and aggressive progression of the disease. The findings deepen the understanding of OvCa patients and caregivers and provide insights to better support their OHIS experience.
