Cancer patients' sense of coherence - psycho-oncological consultations and therapeutic alliance as salutogenic factors.
Article in Health psychology report, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSense of coherence (SoC), a key concept in the theory of salutogenesis, influences the pathway to promote or maintain health. Utilising psycho-oncological care (PC) can be allocated to the dimension of 'tension management' within this theory. We aimed to evaluate tension management and SoC in the context of PC by analysing whether PC consultations and therapeutic alliance influenced patients' SoC over time. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: Patients who received PC were surveyed twice (after 3 and 12 months) about their care experiences, including therapeutic alliance and SoC. Survey data were matched to care documentation data, which contain consultation dates and sociodemographics. Four stepwise regression analyses were conducted with overall SoC and its subscales of meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability at T2 as outcome variables. The predictors are therapeutic alliance and the number of consultations (T1).
resultsOne hundred patients filled out all three SoC subscales at T1 and T2 and were treated by a psycho-oncologist. Therapeutic bond predicted the change in overall SoC (β = .34,
conclusionsOur results suggest that part of successful tension management in PC is a good therapeutic bond and the number of needs-oriented consultations utilised. These predictors affect SoC subdimensions differently.
