Application of stepped care model in cancer patients: a scoping review.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeTo clarify the implementation steps, characteristics, effects, acceptability, and feasibility of the stepped care model (SCM) while also offering a resource for pertinent interventions in cancer care.
methodsWe searched the PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO databases from inception to October 22, 2023. Two key concepts were used: cancer and stepped care model. Two reviewers independently screened the articles and extracted data by repeatedly reading the abstracts and full texts. The included literature was analyzed according to the updated framework for scoping reviews proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI).
resultsA total of 14 studies were included. Most of the reviewed SCMs comprised two steps: self-management interventions in the first step and cognitive-behavior interventions in the second step. Most often, interventions were delivered electronically. The main applications of SCM included providing psychological support, treating insomnia and relieving cancer-related fatigue. SCM was effective in improving multiple outcomes for cancer patients with feasibility and acceptability.
conclusionsSCM has a promising future and is applicable to oncology care. Further research on facilitators and barriers to the application of this model in cancer care is needed to enhance patients' quality of life.
