Body image and its associated factors among Chinese head and neck cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
purposeBody image is a critical psychosocial issue for patients with head and neck cancer. However, the current status and associated factors of body image in patients with head and neck cancer in Mainland China remain unknown. This study aimed to explore body image concerns for head and neck cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment in Mainland China and to identify the associated factors.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted including 154 patients who underwent surgery for head and neck cancer at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital in Mainland China. Participants were surveyed using the Body Image Scale (BIS), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and a questionnaire designed for this study. The Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Spearman's rank correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
resultsThe score of BIS was 6.00 (4.00, 8.00). Multiple regression analysis revealed that anxiety, cancer stage, sex, active coping style, and educational level were factors related to body image. These five variables accounted for 40.7% of the total variance in body image.
conclusionsThese findings indicate body image dissatisfaction in surgically treated patients with head and neck cancer. Patients with greater anxiety, a more advanced cancer stage, female sex, fewer active coping strategies, and higher education are more likely to have an inferior body image. Assessment and effective psychosocial interventions are needed initially for patients with head and neck cancer to manage body image concerns.
