Supporting cardiomyopathy screening behavior in adult survivors of childhood cancer: an eHealth motivational interviewing-framed pilot intervention.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe Healthy Hearts pilot study evaluated the effect of an eHealth motivational interviewing-framed intervention on cardiomyopathy screening-related knowledge, health beliefs, intrinsic motivation, and behavioral action steps among adult survivors of childhood cancer.
methodsWe consented N = 73 survivors to participate in a single-arm pilot study. Participants completed an online baseline survey (n = 68) assessing knowledge, health beliefs, and intrinsic motivation related to cancer therapy-induced cardiomyopathy and screening echocardiograms. Then, they engaged in two sessions with a fully automated web-based health intervention platform based on motivational interviewing techniques to build motivation. Participants completed an online post-intervention survey (n = 61) re-assessing knowledge, health beliefs, and intrinsic motivation and a 1-month follow-up survey (n = 59) assessing actions taken toward obtaining an echocardiogram and intervention satisfaction.
resultsParticipant age averaged 40.5 years (SD = 7.2). Most self-identified as women (n = 42) and non-Hispanic white (n = 62). Paired t-tests revealed statistically significant pre-post changes in several health beliefs and elements of intrinsic motivation. Specifically, we observed decreases in perceived barriers (p < .001) and increases in knowledge (p < .001), perceived benefits (p < .001), self-efficacy (p < .001), perceived importance (p = .001), confidence (p = .02), and intentions (p < .001). By 1-month follow-up, 38.6% of participants had engaged in behavioral action steps (e.g., set echocardiogram appointment). Intervention satisfaction was moderately high (M = 3.9, SD = 0.9, median = 4, min = 2, max = 5).
conclusionsResults provide preliminary indications of efficacy of the eHealth motivational interviewing-framed intervention on uptake of screening echocardiograms among adult survivors of childhood cancer. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: An eHealth motivational interviewing-framed intervention could increase childhood cancer survivors' ability to receive high-quality support for engaging in cardiomyopathy screening.
