Influencing factors on quality of life in women undergoing cancer treatment: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Women's health nursing (Seoul, Korea), 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting quality of life (QoL) in women undergoing cancer treatment, based on Ferrans' QoL model, with particular attention to femininity and women's roles.
methodsA cross-sectional correlational design was used, and 101 women were recruited through convenience sampling from a tertiary medical center in Jeonju, South Korea, between June and August 2024. QoL, death anxiety, performance status (ability to perform daily activities), body image, and division of household labor were measured using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis.
resultsThe majority of participants had either breast cancer (40.6%) or gynecologic cancer (26.7%). Participants' QoL scores were at a moderate or higher level (69.12±16.65) and demonstrated statistically significant negative correlations with death anxiety (r=-.43, p<.001), performance status (r=-.44, p<.001), perceived health status (r=-.58, p<.001), and body image (r=-.46, p<.001). Performance status (β=-.30, p<.001), perceived health status (β=-.30, p<.001), and death anxiety (β=-.27, p=.001) were independent predictors of QoL in women with cancer during treatment (F=14.69, p<.001), with an overall explanatory power of 49.0%. Body image and division of household labor were not significant predictors of QoL.
conclusionPerformance status, perceived health status, and death anxiety should be prioritized when evaluating QoL in women undergoing cancer treatment.
