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

purposeTo explore feasibility of using a Nurse Cancer Care Coordinator (CCC) to synthesize cancer survivorship care data, assess degree of cancer-related distress, and coordinate care for American Indian (AI) patients seen in a tribal primary care clinic.

methodsA CCC from one of Choctaw Nation's primary care facility collected data on American Indian adults who had completed cancer treatment within the preceding five-years. Measures included demographics, cancer type, treatment and potential adverse effects, schedule of follow-up visits, behavioral risk assessment, global distress and checklist of distress sources, and length of time and frequency of attempts to complete data collection.

resultsNone of the participants had ever received a survivorship care plan (SCP). A total of 15 oncology providers were contacted to gather SCP and Distress Thermometer (DT) information on the 23 participants. Time to complete the SCP ranged from 30 to 120 min, with an average of 62 min per participant. The baseline DT score was 4.4 out of 10 and the average number of problems reported was 5.0. The top five challenges experienced by participants were fatigue (57%), pain (57%), worry (48%), tingling in hands/feet (33%), and sleep (33%).

conclusionsA Nurse CCC embedded within a tribal clinic organized clinically relevant survivorship care information, but this was a labor-intensive undertaking. Further work is needed to determine if risk stratification could be used to identify subsets of patients who would most benefit from this intervention. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Enhancement of Primary Care and Oncology communication may improve survivor care and health outcomes.
