Psychological effects of virtual reality intervention on breast cancer patients with different personalities: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objectives: To explore the efficacy and safety of virtual reality (VR) in relieving negative emotions in patients with breast cancer with different personalities. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Between April 2023 and October 2023, we enrolled patients with breast cancer treated in the Department of Breast Cancer and Oncology at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangdong Province. The patients were randomly divided into an intervention group ( Results: Overall, 85 patients completed the study (44 in the intervention group and 41 in the control group). Patients with Type D personalities showed more negative emotions [25.0 (21.5, 27.5) vs. 19.0 (16.0, 24.0), Conclusions: Breast cancer patients with Type D personalities suffer more severe negative emotions and distress, and more attention should be paid to them. VR intervention significantly and safely reduced negative emotions in patients with Type D personalities.
