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

objectiveThis report describes a case of concurrent engagement in Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy (MCP) and Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Caregivers (MCP-C), brief, structured interventions designed to address existential distress in patients with cancer and cancer caregivers.

methodDescriptions of the independent courses of MCP/MCP-C treatment for a patient with Glioblastoma Multiforme and his caregiver are provided with both unique and shared themes around sources of meaning highlighted.

resultsThe patient and caregiver each experienced enhanced well-being as a result of receiving MCP and MCP-C, as well as shared benefits of deepened connectedness. Engagement in MCP/MCP-C had important implications for their experience of the patient's end-of-life and the caregiver's bereavement. SIGNIFICANCE OF

resultsMCP and MCP-C are interventions typically delivered independently to patients and caregivers. The individual and shared benefits derived from MCP/MCP-C by this patient and caregiver point to the potential benefits of concurrent engagement and the need for future dyadic research on MCP/MCP-C.
