Randomized clinical trial of a digital integrative medicine intervention among patients undergoing active cancer treatment.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05053230 (Integrative Medicine for Patient-reported Outcomes, Values, and Experience), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
Exercise and mindfulness-based interventions have growing evidence for managing fatigue and comorbid symptoms; however, packaging them in a cohesive digital way for patients undergoing cancer treatment has not been evaluated. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of a 12 week digital integrative medicine program, Integrative Medicine at Home (IM@Home), versus enhanced usual care on fatigue severity (primary outcome), comorbid symptoms and acute healthcare utilization (secondary outcomes), in 200 patients with solid tumors experiencing fatigue during treatment. Fatigue severity decreased more in IM@Home than in the control (1.99 vs. 1.51 points; p = 0.04). IM@Home participants also had reduced symptom distress (p = 0.003), anxiety (p = 0.03), and depression (p = 0.02). Acute healthcare utilization was lower with IM@Home, with fewer emergency department visits (rate ratio 0.49; p = 0.04), hospitalizations (4% vs. 12.9%; p = 0.03), and shorter hospital stays (4.25 vs. 10 days; p < 0.001). These promising findings should be confirmed in phase III clinical trials. "Study registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05053230) on 09-20-2021".
