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
backgroundThe brief evidence-based Managing Cancer and Living Meaningfully (CALM) psychotherapy effectively addresses common psychosocial concerns among people with advanced non-curative cancers across cultures. Implementation strategies are required to speed uptake of psychotherapies, such as CALM, to address clinical needs.
aimsThe study aimed to develop and compare implementation referral strategies for CALM, assess the feasibility of training clinicians for CALM competence and assess patient adherence and satisfaction with CALM. Patient-reported outcomes were included to confirm effectiveness.
methodsA pragmatic single-arm Hybrid Type 3 effectiveness-implementation study with concurrent, mixed-methods design was used to evaluate implementation outcomes of referral strategies, while collecting clinical effectiveness data for CALM. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research framework informed interviews to obtain clinician and community cancer care organization leaders' perspectives on barriers and facilitators to CALM referrals.
resultsClinicians resonated with the CALM model, conveyed receptivity to change for beneficial interventions and valued a CALM coordinator in facilitating referrals with clinician and patient information. Patients referred to CALM through the psychosocial oncology (PSO) programme, after distress screening, had higher attrition (X
conclusionCALM implementation was feasible with new direct referral pathways by frontline oncology clinicians across established PSO and palliative care programs. A CALM study coordinator facilitated referrals, and provided information material, Training early career clinicians may support integration of CALM into clinical practice and support clinical needs of patients with advanced cancer.
