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

backgroundManaging Cancer and Living Meaningfully (CALM) intervention's impact on chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in breast cancer survivors (BCs) was investigated through resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to elucidate the underlying neural mechanisms involved.

methods68 BCs were randomly assigned to either the CALM group (33 patients) or the care-as-usual (CAU) group (35 patients). Cognitive function was assessed before and after the intervention in both groups using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale. Pre- and post-intervention rs-fMRI data were also collected for regional homogeneity (ReHo) and functional connectivity (FC) analyses in the CALM group. A total of 68 BCs were randomly assigned to either the CALM group (n = 33) or the care-as-usual (CAU) group (n = 35). Cognitive function was evaluated pre- and post-intervention using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). In the CALM group, rs-fMRI data were acquired before and after the intervention to assess alterations in regional homogeneity (ReHo) and functional connectivity (FC).

resultsCALM intervention demonstrated a greater enhancement in cognitive function compared to CAU (

conclusionCALM intervention mitigates CRCI in BCs, with the middle frontal gyrus may play a critical.
