Stress Management Program for Scanxiety in People With Advanced Lung Cancer: Intervention Adaptation and Stakeholder Feedback.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAlthough scanxiety is common and impactful for people with advanced lung cancer, few interventions address this psychosocial concern.
aimsTo create a stress management program for scanxiety.
methodsWe conducted a structured intervention adaptation process guided by the ADAPT-ITT framework. We tailored materials from an existing evidence-based program, drafted additional modules, and obtained feedback on initial content. Following content revisions and website prototype development, 21 participants (patients with metastatic lung cancer, n = 8; family members, n = 3; clinicians, n = 10) reviewed the program. Participants rated the program's acceptability (Acceptability of Intervention Measure; AIM), feasibility (Feasibility of Intervention Measure; FIM), appropriateness (Appropriateness of Intervention Measure; IAM), helpfulness (module Likert ratings), and usability (Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire; PSSUQ), and completed semi-structured interviews.
resultsData revealed positive impressions of the program. Participants rated the program as acceptable (89%), feasible (89%), and appropriate (95%; proportion with average ratings ≥ 4 out of 5 on AIM, FIM, and IAM respectively). They rated 6 of the 7 modules as helpful, appropriate, and fitting with their experience (77%-100% with Likert ratings ≥ 4 out of 5); the below-threshold module (Introduction) was revised based on rapid qualitative analysis of interview data. Although 33% needed help to start using the website, its usability was rated highly after use (PSSUQ Mdn = 1.56, IQR = 1.11-1.82). The refined intervention is a largely self-guided program to enhance stress management skills using psychoeducation, recorded on-demand exercises, and 3 brief coaching calls.
conclusionsThis highly-rated intervention has the potential to alleviate scanxiety among people with advanced lung cancer.
