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
Unlabelled: Therapist-guided eHealth interventions have been shown to engage users more effectively and achieve better outcomes than self-guided interventions when addressing psychological symptoms. Building on this evidence, this viewpoint aimed to describe the adaptation of iConquerFear, a self-guided eHealth intervention targeting fear of cancer recurrence, into a therapist-guided version (TG-iConquerFear) tailored specifically for survivors of colorectal cancer (CRC). The goal was to optimize patient outcomes while minimizing the need for extensive resources. The adaptation process followed the Information System research framework, which facilitated a systematic integration of knowledge and iterative testing. Drawing on insights from the original iConquerFear development, as well as feedback from end users, oncologists, and therapists, we began by identifying areas for improvement. These insights formed the foundation for the first design cycle. Initial internal testing revealed the need for several adjustments to enhance the intervention. While the core concept of iConquerFear remained unchanged, we made significant modifications to improve access by optimizing the platform for mobile devices, to support adherence by expanding the exercises, and to equip therapists with tools such as reflective questions and a monitoring control panel. External field testing with 5 survivors of CRC provided further validation. Participants reported a high level of acceptability, and their feedback guided additional minor points to consider incorporating in future versions. This study illustrates how a self-guided eHealth intervention can be successfully adapted into a therapist-guided format for fear of cancer recurrence, tailored to meet the needs of survivors of CRC. The described approach serves as a valuable framework for integrating therapist guidance into similar interventions, ensuring their relevance and effectiveness for targeted populations.
