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

purposeAdjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) reduces recurrence risk after hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, but non-adherence is common. We pilot-tested SOIE, a program to enhance AET experience and adherence, to assess its acceptability, feasibility, and effects on psychosocial precursors of AET adherence.

methodsWe conducted a 12-month pilot randomized controlled trial among women who had a first AET prescription. Intervention group received SOIE while control group received usual care. Psychosocial factors from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) (intention - primary outcome -, attitude, subjective norm, behavioral control), additional constructs (AET knowledge, social support, coping planning), impact of AET services received, and adherence were measured by questionnaires at baseline, 3-month, and 12-month endpoints. Group patterns were compared using repeated measures analyses with generalized estimating equations.

resultsA total of 106 women were randomized (participation = 54.9%; intervention n = 52; control n = 54; retention = 93.8%). Among SOIE women, ≥ 90% received the program components and were satisfied. Both groups scored high on adherence intentions and group patterns over time were not statistically different. In the intervention group, AET knowledge and coping planning with side effects increased (group-by-time p-value = .002 and .016), a higher proportion reported that AET services received helped them take their AET (p < .05) and have a consistent daily intake (p = .01).

conclusionSOIE is feasible and acceptable for survivors with an AET. SOIE did not significantly impact adherence intentions but was beneficial for other program outcomes and daily intake. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: SOIE may represent an encouraging avenue to enhance supportive care and empower survivors with managing AET.
