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

introductionBreast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. Survivors often experience physical and psychological effects arising from breast cancer and its treatment, which can last months and years, adversely impacting quality of life. As the number of early breast cancer survivors increases, models of specialist-led follow-up care in hospital settings are not sustainable and evidence suggests that they may not meet survivors' needs. Nurse-enabled, shared-care, follow-up models between cancer specialist and primary care teams have potential to address this need. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The proposed research is a multicentre, prospective, pragmatic, stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial designed to test the effectiveness and implementation of ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval was provided by the Metro South Hospital and Health Service Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC/2020/QMS/59892) and reciprocally across the other five trial sites under National Mutual Acceptance arrangements. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed academic journal publications and presentations at national and international conferences.
