Unmet Psychosocial Needs and Quality of Life of Young Women with Breast Cancer: A Scoping Systematic Review.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer are very distressing for young women and can result in a lot of unmet psychosocial needs and a lower quality of life.
objectiveAlthough unmet psychosocial needs in young women with breast cancer can negatively impact their quality of life, these needs have not been systematically reviewed. The primary objective of this scoping review was to identify the categories of unmet psychosocial needs among young women with breast cancer. The secondary objective was to examine the relationship between these unmet psychosocial needs and their quality of life.
methodsFive electronic databases (MEDLINE from the National Library of Medicine, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), SCOPUS, Web of Science WOS, and Google Scholar), as well as reference lists of relevant literature were systematically searched to identify the relevant literature following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement for reporting systematic reviews.
resultsFrom an initial yield of 2505 articles, 30 articles were included and analyzed. The results identified 13 main domains of unmet psychosocial needs among young women with breast cancer: information needs, psychological needs, physical/symptoms needs, fear of recurrence and spreading, identity-related needs, social needs, sexual needs, social support, financial support, practical needs, spiritual needs, communication-related issues with health care providers, and coping needs. Data were extracted and summarized in a narrative synthesis.
conclusionOngoing assessment of informational needs and a clear understanding of the relationship between unmet psychosocial needs and quality of life are essential for healthcare providers to develop robust support systems for young women with breast cancer.
