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

backgroundMetastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) can impact patients beyond their physical health. We conducted a survey to evaluate patient perspectives on care and treatment experience.

methodsThe survey was conducted by The Harris Poll in the United States. Adults with mCRC were recruited via online panels and patient advocacy groups. Sampling precision was measured via a Bayesian credible interval; data were accurate to within 5.3% points (95% confidence level).

resultsOf the 344 respondents, 46% identified as non-Hispanic White, 25% as non-Hispanic Black/African American, and 22% as Hispanic; the mean age was 56 years. Overall, 31% reported that their mCRC diagnosis was delayed, with 83% wishing more information had been provided by their health-care provider at diagnosis. Mental health resources were difficult to access for 53% of the respondents and 88% experienced financial impacts because of their mCRC diagnosis. Furthermore, 49% reported negative impacts from health inequities affecting their care. Overall, 67% of the respondents wished for more power in treatment decision-making.

conclusionsThe survey highlights key unmet medical and non-medical patient needs in mCRC care. Access to informational resources, including for financial assistance, and a greater emphasis on shared treatment decision-making would help patients feel valued and improve their mCRC experience.
