Psychological capital and death anxiety in pancreatic cancer patients: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Prior research has predominantly adopted variable-centered approaches to demonstrate significant correlations between psychological capital and death anxiety. However, few studies have investigated the heterogeneity of these constructs among patients with pancreatic cancer. To address this gap, we employed a random sampling method to recruit 513 patients with pancreatic cancer. Latent profile analysis was conducted to examine their psychological capital and death anxiety profiles, followed by univariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression to identify influencing factors. The results revealed three distinct profiles: high psychological capital-low death anxiety, moderate psychological capital-moderate death anxiety, and low psychological capital-high death anxiety. Key determinants included Gender, age, place of residence, and cancer stage. These findings enhance our understanding of the psychological recovery trajectory in pancreatic cancer patients, enabling clinicians to develop targeted interventions based on distinct psychological profiles to improve mental health outcomes.
