Brief Post-Surgical Stress Management Intervention Effects on Positive Psychological Well-Being and Self-Efficacy in Women Being Treated With Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy for Hormone-Receptor Positive Breast Cancer.

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
backgroundWomen prescribed adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) for nonmetastatic breast cancer may experience a decline in positive psychological well-being (PPWB) and self-efficacy. Brief cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relaxation training (RT) interventions have shown short-term efficacy in reducing distress, but their impact on PPWB and self-efficacy over longer periods among women prescribed AET is unknown.
aimsWe aimed to investigate longitudinal effects of CBT and RT on PPWB and self-efficacy among women prescribed AET.
methodsThis secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial comparing 5-session CBT versus RT versus a time-matched health education (HE) control for women with nonmetastatic breast cancer examined PPWB (positive affect, benefit finding, positive states of mind, optimism), coping self-efficacy, and relaxation self-efficacy at four timepoints over the first-year post-diagnosis and at median 8-year follow-up. Piecewise hierarchical linear modeling tested intervention effects on longitudinal trajectories among women prescribed AET from the parent study (N = 135).
resultsOver the first-year post-surgery, positive affect and relaxation self-efficacy increased across all conditions (ps < 0.03). Women in CBT reported enhanced positive states of mind compared to those in HE (p = 0.044) and enhanced coping self-efficacy versus those in RT (p = 0.029). Women in HE reported enhanced coping self-efficacy versus those in RT (p = 0.043). All intervention effects persisted at 8-year follow-up. There were no significant effects on optimism or benefit finding.
conclusionsBrief interventions may bolster aspects of PPWB and self-efficacy in women prescribed AET. Testing is warranted to determine whether more PPWB components can be incorporated into these interventions to further enhance outcomes.
