1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Consumer involvement in mental health interventions is recognised as essential to producing research that is relevant, acceptable, and ultimately more effective. Here, we report on a mixed-method pilot study to evaluate the suitability of an existing mental health program for people living with incurable blood cancer, multiple myeloma, and precursor form, smouldering multiple myeloma. The study sought to identify consumer-informed recommendations to guide the future adaptation of a bespoke mental health program for this population who face significant psychosocial distress due to disease and treatment-related symptoms and burden. Twenty consumers (38-72 years) with multiple myeloma (n = 16) and smouldering multiple myeloma (n = 4), as well as Myeloma Australia nurses (n = 4), pilot-tested an existing online mental health program-the Be Well Plan. After program delivery, feedback surveys and semi-structured focus groups were used to inform future program adaptation. Pre-post assessment of empowerment, mental wellbeing, anxiety and depression were analysed to identify preliminary signals of change and inform future trial planning. Satisfaction with and feasibility of the program was encouraging. Qualitative thematic analysis of post-program feedback revealed several themes including the importance of connecting with other consumers, the need for myeloma-specific adaptation, and delivery, facilitation, and clinical implementation considerations. Univariate ANOVAs indicated significant improvements with large effects in both mental wellbeing (η
