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

This study evaluates the perspectives of Spanish patients with cancer and professionals on using graphic charts for clinical practice. One hundred patients with breast or lung cancer completed EORTC QLQ-C30 and specific questionnaires for both tumor locations. Personalized bar charts with Quality of Life areas and comparisons with reference values from previous studies at our institution were presented during medical consultations. Five oncologists were also interviewed. Eighty-eight patients agreed or strongly agreed that results were in line with expectations, while 22 reported having some or much difficulty in understanding the graphs
