Positive influence of managing cancer and living meaningfully (CALM) on fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer survivors.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
To evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of managing cancer and living meaningfully (CALM), an intervention used to reduce the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in breast cancer survivors and improve their quality of life (QoL). A total of 103 breast cancer survivors were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to the CALM group or the care as usual (CAU) group. The participants completed a survey at baseline (T0) and after two (T1), four (T2), and six (T3) intervention sessions. The patients were assessed using the Cancer Worry Scale (CWS), Psychological Distress Thermometer (DT), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). After the intervention, the CALM group showed a significant decrease in levels of FCR, distress, anxiety, and depression (χ
