Coming out of the Integrative Oncology Comfort Zone: Addressing Healthcare Providers' Wartime-Related Concerns.

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
STUDY
objectiveTo assess the impact of a personalized integrative medicine (IM) intervention on healthcare providers (HCPs) expressing war-related emotional/spiritual and physical concerns.
methodsPhysicians, nurses, para-medical and other HCPs from 5 hospital departments in northern Israel underwent IM treatments provided by IM-trained practitioners working in integrative oncology (IO) care settings. The two main HCP-reported concerns were scored (from 0 to 6) before and following the intervention using the Measure Yourself Concerns and Wellbeing questionnaire. Post-intervention narratives were examined for emotional/spiritual keywords (ESKs).
resultsOf 190 participating HCPs, 121 (63.7%) expressed ESKs in post-treatment narratives (ESK group), with 69 not expressing ESKs (nESK group). Both groups had similar demographic and professional backgrounds, and reported improved measure yourself concerns and well-being (MYCAW) QoL-related concerns immediately post-intervention. However, between-group analysis found significantly greater improvement in the ESK group for the first (p < 0.001) and second (p = 0.01) MYCAW concerns, as well as emotional/spiritual concerns (p < 0.001). Pain-related concerns improved similarly in both groups, with improved scores continuing to 24-h post-treatment.
conclusionsHCPs with war-related emotional/spiritual and physical QoL-related concerns showed significant improvement following the IM intervention. This was more significant among those reporting ESKs for their two major and emotional/spiritual concerns, with pain scores improving similarly in both groups. Future research needs to explore specific and non-specific effects of IM intervention provided by IO practitioners working outside their "comfort zone", fostering collaboration between IM and mental health providers to address HCP wellbeing and resilience during a time of national crisis.
