Consultation models in psychosocial oncology.
Review in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeBest practice regarding screening for cancer-related distress includes timely follow-up with psychosocial services to address identified needs. Cancer centers frequently struggle to identify distress via systematized, low-burden workflows and link patients to high-quality, evidenced-based care. Models of psychological and psychiatric consultation can address several known challenges of attending to patient and provider need and can be designed with varying resources and levels of integration. Consultation can be offered in inpatient and outpatient settings and function independently or within existing supportive care departments.
methodsThis review summarizes four models of consultation including 1) inpatient psychological consultation, 2) outpatient psychological consultation, 3) integrated and tiered psychiatric consultation, and 4) integration of behavioral health providers into subspecialty teams. We present data on utilization of each model, as well as patient clinical outcomes and satisfaction measures and provider satisfaction.
resultsConsultation models are utilized and offer an effective approach to optimizing timely and accessible care. Utilizing this model of care between July 2020 and June 2021, we managed more than 1200 inpatient referrals for consultation and responded to more than 1600 outpatients with positive distress screens. Programs should consider strengths and limitations of implementing consultation models, with an emphasis on available staffing and institutional investment in supportive care for cancer survivors.
