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

backgroundCircadian rest-activity rhythm disorders, affecting up to 60% of patients with advanced cancer, are associated with poor clinical outcomes. As disease severity correlates with circadian disruption, a multi-modal approach may be necessary to improve circadian rhythmicity in this population.

aimTo assess the feasibility, primarily in relation to recruitment, retention, usability and acceptability, of a multi-modal, non-pharmacological intervention in patients with advanced cancer and a circadian rest-activity rhythm disorder.

designA prospective, single arm, outpatient feasibility study took place over 8-weeks incorporating a clinical review, daily bright light therapy, online cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia course, and personalised physical activity plan. SETTINGS/

participantsAdult (⩾18 years old) outpatients from an acute hospital and hospice service with locally advanced or metastatic cancer and a circadian rest-activity rhythm disorder.

resultsParticipants (

conclusionsThe study demonstrated acceptability, usability and preliminary efficacy for the intervention, and warrants further investigation with a definitive trial to assess the impact on clinical outcomes of interest.
