Multimodal Rehabilitation for Advanced Cancer Pain: a Narrative Review of Emerging Nonpharmacological Strategies.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewThis narrative review aims to explore research advances in multimodal rehabilitation for advanced cancer pain, with a primary focus on nonpharmacological intervention approaches, to offer comprehensive treatment strategies for cancer pain management. RECENT
findingsWhile the WHO analgesic regimen holds a central position, long-term medication use may lead to drug resistance and side effects. Nonpharmacological interventions have shown potential as effective adjuncts to pharmacological treatments, particularly in reducing medication side effects and enhancing patients' quality of life. Disparities in access, cultural acceptability, and cost-effectiveness-especially in low- and middle-income countries(LMICs)-along with publication bias and study heterogeneity remain significant challenges. Emerging technologies such as virtual reality and artificial-intelligence-driven applications show promise in addressing coverage gaps. Based on the comprehensive review of current evidence, multimodal rehabilitation incorporating nonpharmacological strategies-such as physical therapy, exercise training, psychological interventions, and complementary therapies-effectively complements pharmacologic management in alleviating advanced cancer pain and enhancing quality of life. Future efforts should focus on standardizing interventions, expanding access, and integrating these approaches within multidisciplinary frameworks to optimize pain control and functional outcomes.
