Impact of social support on cognitive function in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy: The chain-mediating role of fatigue and depression.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 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
Objective: This study aims to examine the chain-mediating roles of fatigue and depression in the association between social support and cognitive function among patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: This study involved a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from 647 patients recruited from four provinces in China. Patient-reported outcomes were measured using the Chinese version of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Cancer Function Brief Scales, assessing cognitive function, social support, fatigue, and depression. Spearman correlation analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0. A chain mediation model was tested in Mplus 8.3 using maximum likelihood estimation with bootstrapping. Results: The proposed model showed acceptable fit indices (χ Conclusions: Social support has both direct and indirect effects on cognitive function in patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy, with fatigue and depression serving as significant mediators. Psychosocial interventions aimed at enhancing social support and reducing fatigue and depressive symptoms may help prevent or alleviate cognitive impairment in this population.
