Evaluation of religious coping strategies in women recently diagnosed with breast cancer in Morocco: baseline findings from a cohort study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThis study aims to assess positive and negative religious coping (PRC, NRC) in a sample of Moroccan women with breast cancer (BC) and examine the association with depression, anxiety, cancer clinical data and sociodemographic variables.
designWe conducted a cross-sectional study.
settingThe oncology departments of the public oncology hospital in the city of Fez, Morocco.
participants209 patients newly diagnosed with BC before receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy from 2019 to 2023. OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary end-point variables included positive and negative religious coping, depression and anxiety. Secondary outcomes included demographic data and disease-related information.
resultsThe patients, with a mean age of 47.43±9.45 years, had high PRC scores (26.87±3.12). Based on multiple linear regression, PRC was negatively associated with delay in diagnosis (discovery of first symptoms after more than 12 months), β=-0.19 (95% CI=-1.97 to -0.27; p=0.01). For NRC, there was a significant association with progesterone receptor β=0.14 (95% CI=0.08 to 1.12; p=0.02) and a positive association with psychological distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale total score) β=0.42 (95% CI=0.07 to 0.14; p≤0.001).
conclusionWomen with BC may benefit from a holistic approach that integrates positive religious coping patterns. This approach should take into account the determinants identified in this study and identify any negative religious coping strategies that may have an adverse effect on patients' mental health.
