Feasibility of a nurse-initiated brief cognitive behavioral strategy intervention program for symptom clusters experienced by patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To assess the feasibility of a nurse-initiated brief cognitive behavioral strategy (CBS) intervention program targeting pain and fatigue symptoms among the pain and fatigue/anorexia symptom clusters experienced by patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: In this single-group, pre-post test study, 15 NSCLC outpatients undergoing medical treatment participated. After providing informed consent, participants completed a baseline questionnaire and received a booklet detailing brief cognitive-behavioral techniques (e.g., relaxation, symptom-management strategies), exercise therapy, and related tools. Follow-up calls were made five times over a 10-week period to monitor adherence and assess symptom severity changes. Results: Ten participants (66.7%) completed the program. For pain management, 86.7% of participants chose deep breathing as a relaxation technique, and 80.0% used exercise to alleviate fatigue. Median symptom severities decreased from baseline to week 10 as follows: pain (2.00 to 1.00), sadness (1.00 to 0.00), and anxiety (1.00 to 0.50). Conclusions: The naurse-initiated brief CBS intervention program is feasible and clinically relevant for patients with advanced NSCLC undergoing standard treatment in Japan.
