Anxiety and self-efficacy in Chinese lung cancer patients: cross-lagged effects and the mediation of resilience.
Observational study in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo explore the longitudinal causal relationship between anxiety and self-efficacy in lung cancer patients and the mediating role of resilience in the reciprocal relationships.
designA longitudinal observational study.
methodsThis study collected data on anxiety, resilience, and self-efficacy in 333 Chinese first-diagnosed lung cancer patients at three time points: T1 (preoperative hospitalization), T2 (one month after surgery), and T3 (three months after surgery).
resultsThe results of cross-lagged panel modeling showed that there was a significant mediating effect of resilience, which mediated the weakening effect of anxiety at T1 on self-efficacy at T3 and mediated the weakening effect of self-efficacy at T1 on anxiety at T3.
conclusionThese findings suggest that resilience longitudinally mediated the relationship between anxiety and self-efficacy in lung cancer patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Enhancing medical staff's capacity to reduce the incidence of preoperative anxiety and improve self-efficacy in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. IMPACT: Future research could develop interventions related to resilience to buffer or even block the debilitating effects of anxiety on self-efficacy and enhance the weakening effects of self-efficacy on anxiety in lung cancer patients. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study directly involved the patients in hospital settings. REPORTING
methodThis study adhered to the STROBE guidelines for cohort studies.
