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

objectivesAlthough patients with lung cancer are at high risk of poor outcomes from COVID-19, little is known about the economic and psychosocial impact of the pandemic on this population. This study had 2 objectives: (1) to identify the prevalence of financial and social disruptions and other adverse COVID-19 experiences in socioeconomically diverse patients with lung cancer; and (2) to examine whether these experiences were associated with physical and psychological symptoms.

methodsPatients with lung cancer (

resultsPrevalent COVID-19 experiences included disrupted interactions with family and friends (66.0%), inability to perform daily routines (38.5%), and financial difficulties (18.5%). Greater financial hardship and disruptions to daily activities and social interactions were associated with higher levels of all physical and psychological symptoms. Endorsing more COVID-19 experiences (e.g., job loss, death of loved ones) was only associated with greater anxiety. Despite prevalent hardships, mean levels of physical and psychological symptoms were within normal ranges, except for elevated fatigue. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE

resultsAlthough adverse COVID-19 experiences were common and related to symptom burden, patients with lung cancer showed notable psychological resilience during the pandemic. Oncology clinicians should consider the impact of COVID-19 experiences when providing financial and support services.
