An examination of the relationship of patient modifiable and non-modifiable characteristics with fear of cancer recurrence among colorectal cancer survivors.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeFear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is one of the most common and distressing issues affecting cancer survivors. This study examined (1) the association between modifiable cognitive, behavioral, and social characteristics and FCR, (2) the association between non-modifiable characteristics and FCR, and (3) the relative contributions of modifiable and non-modifiable characteristics to FCR.
methodsParticipants (n = 120) had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and completed cancer treatment in the past 6 to 36 months. Participants completed self-report measures of modifiable cognitive (e.g., beliefs about worry), behavioral (e.g., health-related reassurance seeking), and social (e.g., social constraints) characteristics. Non-modifiable characteristics (e.g., age, disease severity) were assessed via self-report and medical record review.
findingsModifiable (i.e., perceived risk, self-efficacy, positive beliefs about worry, negative beliefs about worry, intolerance of uncertainty, rumination, reassurance seeking, health-related reassurance seeking, social constraints) and non-modifiable (i.e., age, gender, disease severity, neuroticism, conscientiousness) characteristics were associated with FCR (p's < .05). Hierarchical linear regression analyses demonstrated that modifiable characteristics accounted for an additional 15% of the variance (p < .001) beyond that accounted for by non-modifiable characteristics (R IMPLICATIONS: Results identify non-modifiable characteristics that may serve as risk factors for greater FCR and identify specific modifiable characteristics (i.e., perceived risk, health-related reassurance seeking) to be targeted by interventions to reduce FCR among cancer survivors.
