Marital status and perceived stress in men with advanced prostate cancer: A randomized-controlled trial of cognitive behavioral stress management.
Trial report in Journal of psychosomatic research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03149185 (Technology Based Psychosocial Intervention for Symptom Management and HRQOL in Men Living With Advanced Prostate Cancer), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveRelationship status predicts numerous outcomes among medical populations. Few interventions evaluate the role of marital status on response to psychosocial treatment, and no such studies exist within advanced prostate cancer (APC). This study examined whether marital status modified the effect of a cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) intervention on perceived stress.
methodsMen with APC (N = 190) were randomized to 10-week CBSM or a health promotion (HP) intervention (#NCT03149185). The Perceived Stress Scale assessed perceived stress at baseline and 12-month follow-up. Medical status and sociodemographics were captured at enrollment.
resultsParticipants were mostly White (59.5%), non-Hispanic (97.4%), heterosexual (97.4%) men, 66.8% of whom were partnered. Neither condition nor marital status predicted perceived stress change at follow-up. However, a significant interaction was found between condition and marital status (p = 0.014; Cohen's f = 0.07), such that partnered men who received CBSM and unpartnered men who received HP reported greater reductions in perceived stress.
conclusionThis is the first study to assess the impact of marital status on psychosocial intervention effects among men with APC. Partnered men derived greater benefit from a cognitive-behavioral intervention and unpartnered men equally benefitted from a HP intervention. Further research is necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying these relationships.
