Trajectories of family functioning and financial toxicity in patients with glioma: a longitudinal study.
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 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 investigate the longitudinal trajectories of family functioning and financial toxicity in glioma patients, while examining their predictive interrelationships, to establish evidence-based strategies for alleviating economic burden in neuro-oncology care. Methods: This prospective longitudinal cohort study enrolled 266 glioma patients from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and Xuzhou Central Hospital (January 2022-June 2024). Family functioning and financial toxicity were serially assessed at three timepoints: baseline (T1, initial diagnosis), 3-month follow-up (T2), and 6-month follow-up (T3). Structural equation modeling (SEM) framework incorporated cross-lagged panel analysis and latent growth curve modeling to examine temporal relationships. Results: A total of 242 valid consecutive questionnaires were collected. The cross-lagged panel analysis demonstrated that the average family functioning level significantly and positively predicted subsequent financial toxicity at follow-up time points ( Conclusion: Family functioning and financial toxicity of glioma patients can predict each other. The initial level of family functioning can positively predict the initial level of financial toxicity, the initial level of family functioning can negatively predict the development speed of itself and financial toxicity, and the development speed of family functioning can positively predict the development speed of financial toxicity.
