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
Pain is a common symptom in patients with cancer accompanied by anxiety, depression, and worsening Quality of Life (QoL). Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has proven to be effective in the management of these symptoms, although access to it faces multiple barriers. While Videoconferencing can be an option, its application in patients with cancer and chronic pain in Latin America remains limited. To evaluate the preliminary feasibility and acceptability of CBT via videoconferencing to improving pain, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in Mexican patients with cancer and chronic pain. This pilot feasibility study used a pre-experimental design with a single group and pre-test and post-test measurements. Patients received a five-session psychological intervention via videoconferencing. The feasibility criteria were: eligibility rate ≥ 50%, enrollment rate ≥ 50%, attendance rate ≥ 70%, & ≥ 80% of the acceptability items ≥ 8. Ten participants were enrolled and agreed to participate completing all 5 sessions (attendance rate = 100%). Participants reported high elegibility rate (71.4%), acceptability of the intervention (99%), comprehensibility (95%) and usefulness (94%). The majority (99%) indicated that they would recommend the psychological intervention to others. Exploratory analyses showed changes in pain improvement (d = .899), anxiety symptoms (d = 1.36), depression symptoms (d = .755), and quality of life (d = .788). CBT via videoconferencing represents a viable and well-accepted alternative for the psychological treatment of patients with cancer and chronic pain in Mexico. This modality could expand access to care when face-to-face intervention is not possible.
