Mental Health and Cancer: Why It Is Time to Innovate and Integrate-A Call to Action.
Review in European urology focus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Surgical, radio-oncological, and medical anti-cancer therapies have developed at pace and scale in recent years, yet there remains a huge unmet need for mental health in cancer care. Recent experience in the COVID-19 pandemic has added to recognition of this unmet need. There needs to be more effective clinical integration of relevant services, which must be informed by patient choice and clinical need, and accessible throughout the patient's whole cancer journey. This needs to be accompanied by training and research integration as well as more effective and creative use of technology such as virtual reality and simulation, quality assuring apps, and mobile technologies. Finally, as a clinical community we need to drive a shift in culture towards measurement of patient quality of life as a marker of treatment effectiveness. We also need to support our own clinical workforce with their own mental health needs so that we prevent the alarming rates of burnout prevalent among clinicians treating cancer. The call to action for innovation and staff support has been amplified by experience in the COVID-19 pandemic. PATIENT SUMMARY: This report highlights the unmet need for mental health in cancer care. Patients need effective access to psychological support and mental health services throughout their cancer journey, including better use of technology. There is also a need to support the psychological wellbeing of cancer clinicians.
