Above and beyond cancer: a novel approach to growth and resilience in cancer survivors.

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
Background: Although cancer diagnosis and treatment frequently cause distress, many survivors report personal growth, change, and transformation. To better understand these dynamics, we used a qualitative approach to study twenty-seven heterogeneous cancer survivors who participated in physically and emotionally challenging journeys through the Above and Beyond Cancer organization. Groups traveled to Kathmandu (Nepal), Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), and Mt. Kailash (China), and volunteered at nearby cancer hospitals. Methods: Survivors completed short essays and surveys pre-departure, 3 weeks, and 3 months post-trip. Qualitative responses were categorized into themes by 4 independent reviewers following consensus, and quantitative measures assessed sociodemographic characteristics and mood. Results: Qualitative findings highlighted the role of new experiences and social support in enabling participants to develop new meaning, growth, and a new sense of their capabilities. Quantitative measures showed that anxiety of participants decreased over time. Conclusions: This study points to lifestyle undertakings that can support personal growth in cancer survivors.
