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
objectivesPatients with advanced cancer and their caregivers experience a substantial amount of anxiety and distress. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of an 8-week, remotely delivered Resilient Living Program (RLP) for adult patients with advanced cancer and their caregivers.
methodsEligible patients included adults (≥18 years) with advanced cancer. Their caregiver had the option to participate. The RLP components included online modules, a print journal, and 4 video-telehealth-delivered sessions. Content focused on techniques for managing stress and building resilience (mindful presence, uplifting emotions, reframing experiences through practicing principles of gratitude, compassion, acceptance, meaning, and forgiveness). Feasibility and acceptability were assessed quantitatively and with semi-structured interviews conducted with a subset of participants. Effectiveness measures (anxiety, stress, quality of life [QOL], sleep, resiliency, and fatigue) were administered at baseline, week 5, week 9, and week 12.
resultsOf the eligible patients, 33/72 (46%) were enrolled. In all, 15 caregivers enrolled. Thirty participants (21 patients/9 caregivers) completed at least 3 video-telehealth sessions (63% adherence). For patients, there were statistically significant improvements in anxiety and fatigue at week 12 ( SIGNIFICANCE OF
resultsParticipation in the RLP was feasible and acceptable for patients with advanced cancer and their caregivers. Participants tended to indicate that the practices were easy to integrate into their everyday lives, engendered their ability to focus on the positive, and would recommend the RLP to other individuals living with advanced cancer. Preliminary effectiveness data suggest the program may positively impact anxiety, stress, QOL, sleep, resiliency, and fatigue. A larger randomized clinical trial is warranted to confirm these preliminary findings.
