Gender-specific differences in factors influencing supportive care needs in colorectal cancer patients.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. 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
backgroundUnmet supportive care needs reducing the quality of life of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. As existing studies have indicated the supportive care needs of CRC patients of different genders differ, the main aim of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the supportive care needs of CRC patients based on gender.
methodsCRC patients were categorized by gender to compare each group's supportive care needs and demographic characteristics. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to identify factors impacting the supportive care needs of patients by gender.
resultsThe study involved 257 males and 146 females CRC patients. Female patients reported higher levels of supportive care needs. Among male patients, those with higher education levels, higher anxiety, and a diagnosis of rectal cancer exhibited more significant supportive care needs. In contrast, anxiety was the only factor affecting supportive care needs for female patients.
conclusionThis study provides new insights into the factors influencing supportive care needs in CRC patients. It revealed distinct differences in the levels and determinants of supportive care needs between male and female patients. Specifically, a higher level of education and the presence of rectal cancer were associated with increased supportive care needs in male patients. Meanwhile, increased anxiety levels were linked higher supportive care needs across both genders.
