Ecological momentary assessments among patients with cancer: A scoping review.
Article in European journal of cancer care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05956782 (A Dyad-based Multiple Behavior Intervention for Reducing Lung Cancer Symptoms - a Pilot Randomized Control Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 43 papers, 4 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
introductionEcological momentary assessment (EMA) is an emerging method to assess an individual's current thoughts, affect, behaviour, physical states and contextual factors as they occur in real-time and in their natural environment. Whereas EMA is frequently used in mental health, little is known about the added value of EMA in oncology research. This review aimed to synthesise methodological information and results of studies that applied EMA among patients with cancer to inform future researchers about the opportunities and challenges.
methodsWe included full-text articles on studies that: (a) were conducted among adult cancer patients; and (b) examined cancer and treatment-related experiences by EMA. Information from selected studies was synthesised: study designs, EMA data collection methods, response-related results and main findings.
resultsTwelve studies were included, which all applied an observational design. The EMA data collection methods varied considerably and the reporting of response-related results were poor. Nevertheless, EMA was found feasible as no systematic patterns of problems were reported and reported response-related results were acceptable. Furthermore, EMA was found useful as it facilitated examination of real-time experiences and behaviour.
conclusionEcological momentary assessment is useful and feasible in oncology research. Future studies would benefit from guidelines for designing and reporting EMA studies.
