Who benefits from an eHealth-based stress management intervention in advanced prostate cancer? Results from a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Psycho-oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 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
objectiveConduct a secondary analysis to examine the effects of a tablet-delivered, group-based cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) intervention for reducing symptom burden among men with advanced prostate cancer (APC) and elevated baseline levels of symptom burden.
methodsA total of 192 men with APC were randomized to either a CBSM or a health promotion condition and followed for one year. Six analytical samples were included in our study, each including participants who reported elevated levels of burden for the corresponding outcome at baseline. Outcomes included five domains of symptom-related quality of life (urinary incontinence n = 98; urinary irritation n = 61; bowel function n = 43; sexual function n = 177; and hormonal function n = 149) and depression (n = 31). Repeated measures mixed models were used to detect within- and between-group changes in outcomes.
resultsRegardless of condition, participants with elevated symptom burden or mild-to-severe depression showed short-term (6-month) improvements in urinary irritation, bowel function, hormonal function, and depression scores. Only participants in the CBSM condition showed short-term (6-month) improvements in urinary incontinence, and long-term (12-month) improvements in urinary irritation, bowel function, hormonal function, and depression scores.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that targeting a web-based CBSM intervention to recipients most likely to benefit (elevated levels of symptom burden) can improve several domains of symptom-related quality of life and depressive symptoms in men with APC.
