Religious/Spiritual Struggle in Young Adult Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Survivors.
Article in Journal of adolescent and young adult oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThis study describes the prevalence of religious and/or spiritual (R/S) struggle in long-term young adult (YA) survivors following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as well as existential concerns (EC), social support, and demographic, medical, and emotional correlates of R/S struggle.
methodsData were collected as part of an annual survey of survivors of HCT aged 18-39 years at survey completion; age at HCT was 1-39 years. Study measures included measures of R/S struggle (defined as any non-zero response on the negative religious coping subscale from Brief RCOPE), quality of life (QOL), and depression. Factors associated with R/S struggle were identified using multivariable logistic regression models.
resultsFifty-two of the 172 respondents (30%), who ranged from less than a year to 33 years after HCT, had some R/S struggle. In bivariate analysis, depression was associated with R/S struggle. In a multivariable logistic regression model, individuals with greater EC were nearly five times more likely to report R/S struggle. R/S struggle was not associated with age at transplant, time since transplant, gender, race, R/S self-identification, or medical variables.
conclusionR/S struggle is common among YA HCT survivors, even many years after HCT. There is a strong correlation between EC and R/S struggle. Given the prevalence of R/S struggle and its associations with EC, survivors should be screened and referred to professionals with expertise in EC and R/S struggle as appropriate. Further study is needed to determine longitudinal trajectory, impact of struggle intensity, causal relationships, and effects of R/S struggle on health, mood, and QOL for YA HCT survivors.
