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

We conducted semi-structured interviews with adult survivors of childhood cancer and cancer care experts in the United States to explore viewpoints on health needs and barriers to insurance utilization to develop a literacy improving program. We conducted qualitative thematic analysis and used an inductive-deductive approach to organize findings in accordance with Aday & Andersen's conceptual model of access to medical care. From June-October 2019, we interviewed 11 survivors and 40 experts. Survivors and experts identified gaps in survivors' health insurance literacy contributing to their avoidance of healthcare and underuse of insurance benefits along with pitfalls of health care delivery and insurance coverage. Experts and survivors of childhood cancer agreed on health care and insurance coverage needs of survivors. Low health care and insurance literacy present an urgent target for intervention informed by study findings.
