Should I call psycho-oncology? Training nurses on psycho-oncological screening reduces uncertainties.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purposePsycho-oncological screening is required to identify distressed patients and direct them to psycho-oncological care. In practice, screening procedure and related communication are still insufficient due to various barriers on the side of the medical team. The aim of this study is to evaluate the specifically developed training (OptiScreen training) on screening from nurses' perspective.
methodsN = 72 nurses from visceral-oncological care at Hanover Medical School received the 6-h training, which consisted of three modules and targeted topics around screening, psycho-oncology and communication. The training was evaluated using a pre- and post-questionnaire assessing screening knowledge, uncertainties and further satisfaction outcomes.
resultsPersonal uncertainties were significantly reduced by the training (t(63) = - 13.32, p < .001, d = 1.67). General satisfaction with the training was achieved (62.0-98.6% satisfied with the training elements). Feasibility (69%) and general acceptance (94.3%) for the training were rated positively.
conclusionThe nurses rated the training as useful to reduce personal uncertainties regarding the screening process. Acceptability, feasibility and satisfaction with the training from the nursing perspective were achieved. The training contributes to minimizing barriers to inform about psycho-oncology and to recommend appropriate support services to patients.
