How family support alleviates death anxiety in breast cancer patients: the mediating role of meaning in life.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Previous studies have predominantly focused on the relationship between death anxiety and quality of life in breast cancer patients, with limited exploration on how to alleviate their death anxiety. To address this gap, we recruited 533 breast cancer patients and utilized structural equation modeling and Process Model 4 to analyze the internal mechanisms and boundary conditions between family support and death anxiety. The study results indicated that family support significantly negatively impacts death anxiety in breast cancer patients; similarly, meaning in life also significantly negatively impacts death anxiety. More importantly, we found that meaning in life plays a full mediating role between family support and death anxiety. This study suggests that by enhancing family support levels and strengthening patients' perception of meaning in life, we can significantly improve the psychological health status of breast cancer patients, thereby potentially improving their quality of life.
