Physical Function and Mobility in Older Adults Receiving Treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Longitudinal Qualitative Study.
Article in Oncology nursing forum, 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
purposeTo explore perspectives of older adults (aged 60 years or older) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) on their physical function and mobility, assessed at three time points during treatment with a hypomethylating agent and venetoclax (HMA + VEN). PARTICIPANTS &
settingParticipants were older adults with AML (N = 17) receiving HMA + VEN at a comprehensive cancer center. Most were male and aged 64-89 years (median age = 75 years). METHODOLOGIC APPROACH: This study used a longitudinal qualitative approach with semistructured interviews at cycles 1, 2, and 7 of chemotherapy. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed using thematic analysis.
findingsFour themes were identified: reduced mobility and limited options for physical activities (cycle 1), periodic changes in mobility and energy level (cycle 2), acceptance and adaptation to changed mobility (cycle 7), and strategies to stay active. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Substantial challenges with physical function and mobility exist for older adults undergoing treatment for AML. Oncology nurses should anticipate patient needs, provide appropriate care, and make referrals to address physical and functional needs before and during HMA + VEN treatment.
