Effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Improving Anxiety, Depression, and Quality of Life in Pre-Diagnosed Lung Cancer Patients.
Trial report in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy on anxiety, depression, and quality of life of pre-diagnosed lung cancer patients.
methodsA total of 32 pre-diagnosed subjects were divided into 16 Cognitive behaviour theraphy (CBT)-intervention patients and 16 control subjects. The study subjects were pre-diagnosed lung cancer patients hospitalized at Regional Public Hospital Dr. Moewardi Surakarta. For the treatment group, CBT psychotherapy interventions were given for up to 6 sessions every 2 days. The patient was tested for Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS)-based anxiety symptom criteria and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HRSD)-based depression and followed The World Health Organization Quality of Life- Brief version (WHOQOL-BREF)-based quality of life criteria. The effect of CBT intervention was measured using an independent t-test and the Mann-Whitney test.
resultsThere was a significant difference in the intervention group post-test: HARS criteria decreased by -8.38 ± 2.90, HRSD decreased by an average of -6.75 ± 3.30, and WHOQOL-BREF increased by an average of 16.80 ± 10.13 compared with the control group.
conclusionCBT affects the improvement of anxiety, depression, and quality of life for pre-diagnosed lung cancer patients.
