Concerns Oncology Clinicians Bring up During Psychodynamic Supervisions Conducted by Psycho-Oncologists: A Qualitative Exploration.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo explore the types of concern brought up by oncology clinicians to supervision sessions conducted by psycho-oncologists.
methodsTwenty-two audio-recorded supervision sessions between 11 oncology supervisees, comprising nurses and medical oncologists, and 5 psycho-oncology supervisors were selected for analysis. The method of core story creation was used to structure the supervision contents into coherent and meaningful narratives. An analysis inspired by descriptive typology was then performed on the core stories to identify patterns, group similar cases, and derive types of concern.
resultsFour types of concern were identified. Type A (I can't understand): a sense of being lost and in need of orientation when faced with patients whose attitudes and behaviors are perceived as incomprehensible. Type B (I understand, but can't help): a prevailing desire for guidance in managing identified patient problems. Type C (It's not in my hands): feelings of powerlessness within the institutional context, with supervisees seeking to regain a sense of agency. Type D (This moved me): personal emotional impact of a clinical situation, prompting supervisees to reflect on their own psychological responses.
conclusionThese types of concern shed light on the psychological challenges faced by oncology clinicians and underscore the need to address them within oncology training curricula. The findings also reveal essential aspects to be integrated in psycho-oncology training programs.
