Interplay between mobility, social participation, and symptom burden in advanced lung cancer.

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
purposeAdvanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with a high symptom burden that negatively impacts daily functioning and quality of life. A better understanding of the time course and relationships between these constructs can help tailor rehabilitation interventions in the context of disease progression. The objectives were to describe and compare the trajectories in mobility, participation, and symptom burden and to assess associations and explore predictors of mobility change.
methodsSecondary data analysis of a longitudinal cohort study of 110 participants with NSCLC. Mobility and participation were measured using the WHODAS 2.0 subdomains, and symptom burden was measured using the POS-S. Data at baseline, 2, 4, and 6 months were analysed using repeated measures ANOVA and regression models. Change scores were compared over time, and multiple linear regression identified predictors of mobility change.
resultsOverall, mobility and symptom burden remained stable, whilst participation scores showed improvement at 4 and 6 months (p < 0.05). Both improvements and declines in mobility status were correlated with changes in participation (r = 0.297-0.462, p < 0.001) and symptom burden (r = 0.151-0.368, p < 0.05). Baseline symptom burden was a significant predictor of mobility change, even after adjusting for demographic and clinical variables (p = 0.003).
conclusionImprovements in participation despite stable mobility and symptom burden suggest an adaptive response and/or benefit from care. Mobility, related to both symptom burden and participation, offers a functional indicator that could be used to focus rehabilitation in advanced NSCLC.
