The mediating role of medical coping modes between stigma and quality of life in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundStigma has been identified as a significant factor impacting the health of lung cancer patients. However, the relationship between stigma, medical coping modes, and quality of life (QoL) has not been thoroughly examined.
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the associations between stigma, medical coping modes, and QoL in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
methodsA total of 304 surgical patients participated in an online survey, which included sociodemographic data, the Lung Cancer Stigma Scale, the Medical Coping Modes Scale, and the Quality of Life Scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0, and structural equation models were constructed using AMOS 24.0. The Bootstrap method was employed to test the mediating hypotheses.
resultsThe mean QoL score was 150.53 ± 15.54, showing significant associations with medical coping modes and stigma. Stigma was negatively correlated with QoL (r = -0.668, p < 0.01). Confrontation was positively associated with QoL (r = 0.339, p < 0.01), while resignation and avoidance were negatively correlated with QoL (r = -0.584, r = -0.500, p < 0.01). Stigma's effect on QoL was partially mediated by confrontation, resignation, and avoidance, with effect sizes of -0.051, -0.190, and - 0.098, respectively, accounting for 35.1% of the total effect.
conclusionPreoperative NSCLC patients in China experience moderate stigma, which detrimentally affects their QoL. Confrontation, resignation, and avoidance play mediating roles in this relationship. These findings offer new perspectives for developing interventions to improve QoL by addressing stigma and coping strategies.
