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

objectiveIt is important to identify factors that predict who will benefit the most from psychosocial interventions in cancer populations.

methodsThis study examines the moderating effect of baseline social support (social support, SS; dyadic adjustment DA), distress (Brief Symptom Inventory, BSI; Impact of Event Scale, IES), and coping style (Brief COPE) on quality of life outcomes (SF-36 Physical Component Summary scores, PCS) 1 year postsurgery derived from a presurgical cognitive-behavioral stress management (SM; n = 23) program, supportive attention (SA; n = 37), or standard care (SC; n = 29).

resultsModeration analyses indicated that men who reported low SS and were in the SM group had increased PCS 1 year after surgery as compared with men with low SS in the SC group (β = -0.39, p < .01), with SA having a nonsignificant intermediate effect. Men who reported high distress (BSI) at baseline and were in the SA group had increased PCS 1 year after surgery, as compared with those in the SC group (β = 24.80, p = .01), with SM having a nonsignificant intermediate effect. Mediation analyses suggested that neither SM nor SA improved quality of life simply by increasing social support or decreasing general distress.

conclusionsDistressed individuals may benefit more from unstructured discussion of distress, whereas those low in social support may benefit more from a structured approach to learning coping skills.
