Factors influencing the hope of patients with advanced cancer while receiving cancer pharmacotherapy.

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
aimThis study aims to clarify the factors influencing hope in patients with advanced cancer undergoing cancer pharmacotherapy, as influential factors have not been explored in previous studies.
methodsParticipants were patients with advanced lung, colorectal, and breast cancer who were undergoing outpatient pharmacotherapy. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Herth Hope Index, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Japanese version of the Integrated Palliative Care Outcome Scale with some additional questions. Data were obtained and analyzed using SPSS version 29.0, with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis.
resultsTwo hundred valid responses (91.7%) were collected. The average age of the participants was 65.4 years. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that hope had significant standardized partial regression coefficients with gender (β = -0.137, p = .022), social support (β = -0.246, p = .008), relationship with significant others (β = -0.224, p = .015), sleepiness (β = -0.141, p = .025), nausea (β = -0.159, p = .011), occupation (β = -0.140, p = .021), and economic status (β = -0.124, p = .038) (adjusted R
conclusionsSocial support, physical symptoms, and economic and occupational status influence the hope of patients with advanced cancer undergoing cancer pharmacotherapy. Assessing the impact of medication and physical symptoms associated with cancer progression on patients' lives, economic impact of long-term medication, and extent of relationship with people available through work and family may lead to early intervention by identifying individuals who are more likely to experience lower levels of hope.
