Developmental Foundations of Psychosocial Interventions in Pediatric Oncology: A Lifespan Framework for Resilience.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesIn recent years, improvements and innovative treatments in pediatric cancer have significantly increased survival rates, but challenges in both cognitive and psychosocial development in children remain significant. This review applies a comprehensive framework to evaluate psychosocial interventions in pediatric populations, offering novel insights into intervention strategies and their effectiveness across diverse contexts.
methodsA systematic search was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases for the period 2000-2024. Controlled studies, systematic reviews, and qualitative studies examining psychosocial interventions for children and adolescents with cancer or survivors were included. Quality assessment was performed using the RoB2 tool, and data were analyzed using narrative synthesis by age group and type of intervention.
resultsStudies have shown that developmentally targeted interventions, such as therapeutic play, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and school reintegration programs, improve emotional regulation, cognitive functioning, and social adjustment in children with cancer. However, the heterogeneity of the samples and the variety of measurements limit the generalizability of the results.
conclusionsIntegrating a developmental perspective into the design of psychosocial interventions can enhance their effectiveness and sustainability in pediatric oncology. Future research should focus on long-term, culturally sensitive programs and their implementation in clinical practice.
