Episodic Future Thinking: A Behavioral Intervention to Promote Weight Loss in Breast Cancer Survivors (Alliance A21-Pilot10).
Article in JCO oncology advances. 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
purposeObesity in breast cancer survivors (BCS) increases mortality, but lifestyle interventions have mixed outcomes. Episodic future thinking (EFT), in which individuals mentally simulate positive personal future-oriented events, has shown to reduce body weight (BW) and delay discounting (DD; the tendency to value delayed rewards less). How EFT affects BW reductions in BCS is unknown. This phase II trial evaluated the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of EFT in reducing BW in BCS with overweight/obesity.
methodsWomen with nonmetastatic BC who completed treatment with a BMI ≥25 kg/m
resultsWe included 46 participants; 17/23 (74%) in EFT and 19/23 (83%) in ERT completed the intervention; 83% had low baseline DD (<0.0025). EFT adherence approached the 80% target to establish feasibility (EFT, 77% [95% CI, 0.69 to 0.85]). ERT had similarly high adherence (82% [95% CI, 78 to 86]). BW decreased overall (-2.01% [95% CI, -3.06 to -0.97];
conclusionA telehealth delivered behavioral intervention for weight loss is feasible in BCS, demonstrated by high participant adherence. Additional research is needed to elucidate EFT as well as ERT's comparable role in modulating DD and as an adjunct to lifestyle interventions for weight loss in BCS.
