Use of a Delphi process to formulate a pragmatic framework for care planning in older adults with advanced bladder 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
purposeNew advanced bladder diagnoses usually occur in the 8th or 9th decade of life. Most data on bladder cancer care has been garnered from a younger population. Older adults with cancer are more likely to have comorbid conditions, undetected vulnerabilities, and priorities that value function in comparison to younger adults with cancer. However, functional assessments and value elicitation are not consistently employed at the outset of care planning in this unique population. We proposed the use of an intervention bundle, or framework, to guide early care planning for older adults with advanced bladder cancer to address the delivery of goal-concordant care.
methodsWe followed a modified Delphi process to determine the components of the framework. We undertook an initial literature review and then convened a transdisciplinary group of professionals with internationally recognized expertise in urologic oncology (medical and surgical), clinical trial design, geriatric oncology, palliative care, exercise physiology, or cancer rehab. This panel participated in surveys and meetings to determine representative measures for the (1) functional assessment, (2) chemotherapy toxicity estimate, and (3) guided goals of care discussion components of the framework.
resultsThe group recommended the short physical performance battery to measure functional status, the Cancer and Aging Research Group chemotherapy toxicity calculator to estimate chemotherapy risks, and the Serious Illness Conversation Guide to elicit patient values and priorities.
conclusionThis consensus building process utilized evidence-based measures backed by expert consensus to contribute to a pragmatic framework to guide care planning in older adults with advanced bladder cancer.
