SynthesisPatient education and counseling2012
A systematic review of cognitive behavioral interventions in advanced cancer.
Synthesis in Patient education and counseling, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03258450 (The Feasibility and Acceptability of a Psychosocial Intervention for Advanced Colorectal Cancer Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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
objectiveTo systematically review cognitive behavioral interventions for people with advanced cancer.
methodsA literature search was conducted using Medline©, CINAHL©, and Psych-info©. INCLUSION CRITERIA: studies were included in the review if they met the following criteria: (1) the design was a randomized clinical trial, (2) the study tested a cognitive behavioral therapy, including psycho-educational, alternative and complementary therapies (i.e. acupuncture, relaxation), expressive, support and skill building interventions, (3) participants were adults (18 years of age or older) with advanced cancer and the (4) outcomes were directly related to the patient with advanced cancer.
results11 studies met the inclusion criteria. Of the studies in the review: treatment effects were not statistically significant in most studies, methods were not consistently described, and samples had limited racial/ethnic diversity.
conclusionThe interpretation of the effectiveness of the CBIs was limited by major challenges to the internal validity of the studies included in the review. The lack of data about the efficacy of CBIs to support people with advanced cancer is a gap in the current knowledge base. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Given the needs of people living with advanced cancer well-designed studies are needed to test interventions that will improve outcomes for people living with advanced cancer.
