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

Introduction: Rural cancer survivors have worse outcomes than their urban counterparts. To improve outcomes, it is essential that rural survivors participate in research, yet they are underrepresented in cancer research. The aim of this study was to assess urban-rural differences in participation in a cancer survivorship survey and differences in mode of participation (mail, online, or phone) by rurality and age. Methods: We developed a survivorship needs assessment survey and invited cancer survivors to participate by mail, online, or phone. We compared participation between rural and urban invitees and examined differences in mode of participation by rurality and age. Results: A quarter (25.47%) of invited rural patients and 27.84% of invited urban patients participated in the survivorship study. The probability of participation by urban survivors was approximately 1.09 times higher than for rural survivors ( Conclusion: To ensure equitable access to research for rural and older cancer survivors, researchers should design studies with a range of participation modes. Non-digital methods, such as mailed paper surveys, appear to promote participation among rural and older survivors.
