Desired Support and Design Preferences for a Supported Self-Management Intervention for People With Lower-Grade Gliomas: Co-Design Findings From the Ways Ahead Project.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLower-grade gliomas (LGG) are a subgroup of primary brain tumours. People with LGG often live long-term with wide-ranging symptoms and impairments (e.g., seizures, cognitive impairment) and uncertainty about their disease progression. Self-management interventions can improve quality-of-life (QoL) in cancer survivors; however, adaptability, acceptability, and feasibility of existing interventions for people with LGG is unclear.
aimsCo-design, with multiple stakeholders, an early prototype supported self-management intervention for people with LGG.
methodsCo-design activities followed two sequential phases. Phase one comprised three semi-structured interview sets with people with LGG, caregivers, and healthcare professionals (HCP). Desired support and design preferences were inductively identified and mapped to the TIDieR checklist; this informed a paper prototype outline. Phase two comprised four discussion groups with people with brain tumours, caregivers, and HCPs, and a survey. These activities considered the prototype design, feasibility, and acceptability. A preliminary intervention logic model was developed from Phases one and two, evidence and self-management theory.
resultsEarly co-design findings indicate preference for a blend of online and face-to-face access to information and support with consideration given to technology literacy and accessibility. A support 'toolkit' was desired for advice, signposting, and support, with the option for caregivers to access intervention content, where appropriate. To improve QoL, the intervention needs to improve symptom knowledge and self-efficacy for symptom management, and support psychological adjustment and independence.
conclusionsThis groundwork, involving multiple stakeholders, will help ensure intervention acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness. There is scope for wider applicability to other brain tumour groups.
