Investigation of anxiety levels and associated factor analysis in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with implanted venous access ports during the stable phase of disease.
Article in PloS one, 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
aimsTo analyze the occurrence of anxiety and its influencing factors in stable stage breast cancer patients after chemotherapy with Implanted Venous Access Port (IVAP).
methodsA total of 776 female breast cancer patients who underwent IVAP and completed chemotherapy in a tertiary cancer hospital from February 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. General condition survey scale, sociological data, disease data, infusion port situation, and SAS anxiety scale were used for investigation to assess their anxiety status. Factors with statistically significant differences in univariate analysis were used as independent variables, and anxiety scale scores were used as dependent variables for multiple linear regression analysis of anxiety-related factors.
resultsAmong the 776 stable stage breast cancer patients after chemotherapy with IVAP, the average score of the anxiety scale was 50.35 ± 10.93, and the prevalence of anxiety was 58.51%, including 312 (40.21%) mild anxiety patients, 124 (15.98%) moderate anxiety patients, and 18 (2.32%) severe anxiety patients. The results of multivariate analysis showed that physical condition, wound dehiscence, pulling sensation, foreign body sensation, and the use of other venous channels and the order of chemotherapy and surgery were influencing factors of anxiety in stable stage breast cancer patients after implantable venous port chemotherapy (P < 0.05).
conclusionsAnxiety is common in stable stage breast cancer patients after chemotherapy with IVAP. Healthcare professionals need to pay attention to patients' psychological problems, strengthen psychological assessment, standardize and refine infusion port management, and promote patients' physical and psychological recovery.
