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

purposeThe present analysis explores whether demographic, psychosocial, or intervention adherence factors moderated treatment efficacy of Finding My Way (FMW), an efficacious self-directed web-based psychosocial program for newly diagnosed curatively treated cancer patients.

methodsParticipants (n = 191) completed a 6-module intervention (n = 94) or attention-control (n = 97) program. Outcome measures were completed at baseline (T0), post-program (T1), 3-month (T2), and 6-month (T3) follow ups. Age, gender, social support, information processing style (monitoring vs blunting), emotion-regulation difficulties, and intervention adherence were examined as potential moderators.

resultsAge moderated emotional functioning and general distress at T3 with significant intervention benefits only observed in younger participants; age moderated cognitive functioning at T1, with intervention benefits only found in older participants. Gender moderated helplessness/hopelessness, emotional functioning, and cognitive avoidance at T1 with men benefitting more from receiving the intervention vs control. Monitoring information-processing style moderated cancer distress and anxious preoccupation at T3: higher monitors benefitted more from receiving the intervention vs control. Program adherence moderated global QOL, emotional functioning and social functioning at T2 and T3; cognitive avoidance (T1), anxious preoccupation (T2) and role function (T3), with those who completed more of the program benefitting more if they received the intervention than control. Emotion dysregulation and social support each moderated role function at T2, with those more dysregulated and less socially supported benefitting more if they received the intervention than control.

conclusionsFor select outcomes, FMW is more effective for patients with specific characteristics; these findings can inform future tailoring and targeting of online programs for cancer-distress.
