Representations of cancer recurrence risk, recurrence worry, and health-protective behaviours: an elaborated, systematic review.
Synthesis in Health psychology review, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
An expanded Common-Sense Model (CSM) contextualised to the self-regulation of cancer recurrence risk identifies risk representational attributes and recurrence worry as primary processes motivating protective behaviours in cancer survivors. A systematic review examined evidence for CSM hypotheses regarding how these processes influence diet and physical activity (PA) among survivors. A research agenda is outlined and used to evaluate the evidence base. Common databases were searched for eligible, peer-reviewed, English language reports, yielding 18 studies quantitatively testing hypothesised relationships among representations of prior cancer, recurrence risk representations, recurrence worry, and diet and PA. The findings provide promising, but mixed and limited evidence for some of the hypothesised associations of specific risk recurrence attributes with recurrence worry, and risk recurrence attributes and recurrence worry with diet and PA. Findings support the distinction of recurrence risk representations and illness representations of the prior cancer, with each showing different relationships with recurrence worry and behaviours. We discuss the status of the evidence base in relation to assessment, design, and analysis priorities and propose strategies that can yield more sensitive, rigorous tests of the CSM for cancer recurrence risk as applied to diet and PA.
