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

introductionDespite the importance of addressing different stages of cancer, there is a lack of data on how these stages relate to coping strategies. This study aims to analyze coping strategies among adolescents with cancer by comparing two distinct time points, the treatment phase and the post-treatment phase, with a particular focus on age and gender. METHODOLOGY: A total of 201 cancer patients aged 12 to 17 years from Alicante, Valencia, and Madrid participated in the study. They completed a Demographic and Clinical Data Form questionnaire capturing age, gender, and illness phase, along with the ACS to assess coping strategies.

resultsDuring the treatment phase, strategies such as "worrying", "stress reduction", "ignoring the problem", and "self-blame" were used more frequently than during the follow-up phase, revealing notable changes in emotional management between the two stages. Gender differences were observed in the first three strategies.

conclusionsThe coping strategies of adolescents with cancer vary significantly between the treatment and follow-up phases, with greater use of certain strategies during treatment and a decline in their use post-treatment. These findings highlight the evolving emotional demands of each stage and emphasize the need for targeted interventions that address the specific coping needs unique to each phase. Such targeted interventions in clinical settings could support emotional management by adapting strategies to the distinct challenges faced by adolescents during treatment and post-treatment phases.
