The Effect of an App-Based Multimodal Cancer Rehabilitation Programme on Sense of Coherence of Women With Gynaecological Cancer: Study Protocol for a Randomised Controlled Trial.

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
aimTo investigate the effects and cost-effectiveness of an app-based multimodal cancer rehabilitation programme promoting sense of coherence for women treated for gynaecological cancer, and to understand participants' experience of the programme.
designAn assessor-blinded, concurrent mixed-method randomised controlled trial.
methodsGynaecological cancer patients (N = 160) will be recruited and randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 80) or an attention control group (n = 80). The intervention group will receive the multimodal cancer rehabilitation programme over 12 weeks, in which they will access a Hong Kong-adapted version of the Australian Women's Wellness after Cancer Programme via a mobile application, plus three virtual individual counselling sessions and reminder phone calls. The attention control group will receive usual care plus telephone calls to deliver general greetings. The outcome variables of sense of coherence, cancer-specific distress, health-promoting behaviours and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) will be measured at baseline (T0), on the completion of the programme (T1) and 12 weeks after intervention completion (T2). HRQoL of the participants will be further reassessed every 3 months from T2 till 12-month post-intervention to evaluate cost-effectiveness. Semi-structured interviews will explore the participants' experience and perceptions of the programme. This study will adhere to the CONSORT-EHEALTH checklist.
conclusionThis study will offer the first empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of the multimodal cancer rehabilitation programme in enhancing sense of coherence, reducing cancer-specific distress, promoting positive lifestyle changes, and improving quality of life for women treated for gynaecological cancer. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Women treated for gynaecological cancer experience unmet rehabilitation needs, yet healthcare professionals might not have the time or resources to meet these needs after intensive treatment is complete. This digital intervention could be incorporated into routine service delivery and adapted to other female cancer groups to improve patient outcomes. REPORTING
methodThis protocol adhered to the SPRIT 2013 statement. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: None.
