Predicting quality of life: The influence of body image and coping strategies in women with reproductive cancer.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundA cancer diagnosis significantly impacts women's identities, self-perceptions, and overall, wellbeing. Reproductive cancers, such as breast, cervix, ovarian, and uterine cancer, notably affect these self-perceptions due to their association with femininity, sexuality, and reproductive capability. This study aimed to explore the intricate relationships between body image, coping strategies, and quality of life (QOL) in women diagnosed with reproductive cancers. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study involved 100 women with reproductive cancers using self-report measures like the Body Image Scale, Brief Coping Inventory, and WHOQOL-BREF to assess their QOL. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS (version 21.0). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and cluster analysis were used to analyze relationships.
resultsThe study revealed a significant positive correlation between body image perceptions and QOL dimensions among women with reproductive cancer. Problem-focused coping emerged as a potent predictor of enhanced physical, psychological, and social relationships and environmental QOL. The analysis revealed two primary clusters: problem-focused coping, avoidant coping, body image, and emotion-focused coping, which were clustered at low levels of rescaled distance, indicating a shared underlying construct related to coping mechanisms and QOL.
conclusionThe study's findings suggest future pathways for interventions that address body image issues and promote effective coping mechanisms. These interventions could potentially enhance the QOL for women with reproductive cancer, highlighting the need for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach.
