1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundFew interventions have improved social health of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer. Following the obesity-related behavioral intervention trials model, we developed a skill-based social needs module for integration within the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM)  behavioral intervention.

methodsThe social needs module targeting social relationship coping efficacy included behavioral skills adapted to AYAs. The module was refined through 2 separate pilot studies. For Study 1, AYAs 12-24 years old completed the module and a feedback interview. Rapid assessment process methods assessed acceptability, appropriateness, understandability, and informed content revisions. For Study 2, AYAs completed PRISM plus the social needs module (PRISM + Social Needs) and a feedback interview. Rapid assessment process methods assessed acceptability of program and session length, timing, and format.

resultsFor Study 1, 6 AYAs completed the initial module focused on identifying and seeking support (mean age = 16 years); most found content acceptable and appropriate (4/6) but suggested adding skills for maintaining social connections and managing cancer-related conversations. Seven AYAs completed the revised module and interview (M = 16 years old); most found content acceptable (6/7) and appropriate (7/7) and suggestions were minimal. For Study 2, 7 AYAs completed the revised full program (M = 16 years old). Most were satisfied with program length (4/7) and duration (7/7); preferred in-person over virtual delivery (6/7); and wanted PRISM + Social Needs early in treatment (5/7).

conclusionsA skill-based social needs module may be acceptable, appropriate, and promising for AYAs. The PRISM + Social Needs intervention may be best delivered in-person and early in treatment, suggesting AYAs value face-to-face connection. Findings inform subsequent proof-of-concept studies.
