Understanding nutrition challenges and information needs of women undergoing cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer: a study protocol for an experience-based co-design methodology.

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
purposeCytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a complex surgery aimed at removing peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM). PSM is prevalent in ovarian cancer, with up to 85% of patients experiencing non-specific symptoms leading to malnutrition. Studies have shown oncology patients display confusion about nutrition recommendations, although understudied in ovarian cancer. Experience-based co-design is a method of participatory research with key principles including empowerment and collaboration. This project aims to utilise experience-based co-design to understand nutrition challenges and develop nutrition resources for women undergoing CRS ± HIPEC for ovarian cancer. The secondary aim is to evaluate the experience-based co-design process to ensure it aligns with key principles of co-design.
methodsThis multi-centre study utilises experience-based co-design. Using maximum variation sampling, women with lived experience of CRS ± HIPEC for ovarian cancer, along with experienced oncology healthcare professionals will be invited to participate. Participants will be interviewed to identify key nutrition issues and information needs. Using thematic analysis, a patient journey map will be developed and key themes identified. A feedback session will be held for participants to identify priorities for service improvement and patient resource development based on key issues identified by patient journey mapping. These priorities will be addressed in co-design workshops with participants with lived experience and clinicians to develop patient information resources. Resources and experience-based co-design processes will be evaluated at the completion of the workshops.
conclusionsThis study will deliver new insights into the nutrition challenges and information needs identified by people undergoing CRS ± HIPEC for ovarian cancer within a co-design approach.
