Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and supportive care in cancer: a synopsis of research perspectives and contributions by an interdisciplinary team.
Review in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
goals of workThe purpose of this short review is to provide a commonly accepted definition of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), to illustrate the widespread use of CAM by people affected by cancer around the world, and to highlight the research contributions of the Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CCAM) research team and its colleagues.
methodsBased on research conducted by CCAM and several European colleagues, a collection of articles was compiled, reviewed, and edited. MAIN
resultsCAM modalities play a role in supportive care and cancer. Because of the high CAM utilization, it is critical to help cancer patients make safe, informed, evidence-based decisions for their care. In addition, advances in research methodology, outcomes, and measurement in CAM studies are suggested to better account for individual and collective experiences.
conclusionThis special issue provides clinicians with a summary of information about CAM and perspectives for better responding to cancer patient's needs.
