Patient Dignity on the Demoralization and Quality of Life of Inpatients with Cancer: Cross-sectional study.
Article in Florence Nightingale journal of nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimThe purpose of this study is to explore the relationships among demoralization, patient dignity, and quality of life of inpatients with cancer and to identify the predictors and mediators of patient dignity.
methodThis cross-sectional study involved a sample of 460 patients with cancer. The research instruments were the Patient Dignity Inventory, the Demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version, and the 30-item Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer.
resultsPositive correlations were found between demoralization and patient dignity (r=.76, p < .001),but negative correlations were found between demoralization and quality of life (r=-.42, p < .001) andbetween patient dignity and quality of life (r=-.46, p < .001). Patient dignity mediated the relationshipbetween demoralization and quality of life (β= .2599, p < .001).
conclusionThese findings confirm that patient dignity mediates the relationship between demoralization and quality of life. They may be used to facilitate patient dignity and reduce demoralization in healthcare settings.
