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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundOral and oropharyngeal cancer survivors experience debilitating physical and psychosocial challenges. Little knowledge exists on the efficacy of interventions to enhance self-efficacy in managing these challenges, increase survivorship preparedness, and improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

methodsIndividuals (n = 643) diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal cancer diagnosed within past 3 years were randomized to a digital intervention, Empowered Survivor (ES) or a Generic Online Intervention (GO). Primary (self-efficacy, preparedness, HRQoL) and secondary outcomes (self-care activities) were measured at Baseline, 2-months, and 6-months.

resultsParticipants assigned to ES reported greater self-efficacy and increased self-care activities of oral self-exams, swallowing, and mobility exercises than those assigned to GO (self-efficacy: 2 months, p = 0.003, 6-months, p < 0.001; self-care activities).

conclusionsThe ES enhanced self-efficacy and increased self-care activities. Further examinations of survivorship preparedness and HRQoL in oral and oropharyngeal cancer are warranted.
