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

Background: Nurse AMIE (Addressing Malignancies in Individuals Everyday) is a technology-enabled intervention developed to improve symptom self-management and quality of life in cancer patients. As the intervention was translated from earlier pilot trials for patients with metastatic breast cancer (NA-MBC) to a voice-activated version on Amazon Echo Show for women with metastatic breast cancer (NA-Echo), and finally to a rural advanced cancer population including all cancer types (NA-Rural), systematic documentation of adaptations was needed to ensure transparency and support future dissemination. Objective: To systematically describe and classify adaptations made in translating prior versions of Nurse AMIE using the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications to Evidence-Based Interventions (FRAME). Methods: A mixed-methods analysis was conducted documenting three Nurse AMIE iterations: NA-MBC, NA-Echo, and NA-Rural. Adaptations were documented from research team meeting notes, stakeholder interviews, protocol revisions, and prior trial usage data, then coded using FRAME domains. Results: Nineteen planned adaptations were identified, all occurring during the pre-implementation phases of successive iterations. Adaptations were primarily contextual and content-related, targeting population eligibility, intervention duration, symptom assessment, interface design, and broader dissemination. Core intervention components were retained across all iterations. No training, evaluation, or fidelity-inconsistent adaptations were documented. Conclusions: FRAME-guided documentation revealed a coherent set of intentional, proactive adaptations that expanded Nurse AMIE's reach from metastatic breast cancer to rural adults with a broad range of advanced cancer types while preserving fidelity. Findings support informed scale-up and replication of the intervention in underserved oncology populations.
