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

Background: Synthesizing unique barriers to cancer-related care among rural and remote populations would be useful to inform future research and health service priorities. To fill this gap, the overall goal of this review is to synthesize the cancer literature about those living in rural and remote locations in Canada. Methods: Using JBI scoping review methods, we extracted the following: definition of rural or remote; phase of cancer care continuum (screening, diagnosis, treatment/care, post-treatment, outcomes); province( s) and/or territory(ies) of the sample; and cancer diagnosis(es). Results: Within the 45 studies, definitions of rural and remote varied widely. The treatment/care phase was most often reflected (n = 18) followed by screening (n = 12). All provinces were represented and data from the Yukon Territory was lacking. Breast and colorectal cancer diagnoses were most common (n = 20 and n = 18, respectively) and most studies (n = 31) used quantitative designs. Conclusion: Review results illuminate the state of cancer-related research of rural and remote populations across Canada and highlight implications for further examination.
