Perceived Self-Efficacy in Decision-Making: The Influence of Personality and Cognitive Variables.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveDecision self-efficacy reflects individuals' confidence in their ability to make effective health-related decisions. In oncology, it is essential to foster active engagement throughout the healthcare journey. Despite its relevance for quality of life, limited evidence exists on the factors influencing decision self-efficacy among cancer survivors. This exploratory study examined the role of personality traits, metacognition, coping strategies, and social support in predicting decision self-efficacy in breast cancer survivors.
methods187 breast cancer survivors voluntarily completed online questionnaires assessing socio-demographic variables and standardized measures. Correlational analyses, multiple regressions, and mediation analyses were conducted.
resultsFindings evidenced that conscientiousness and cognitive self-consciousness positively predicted decision self-efficacy, whereas agreeableness showed a negative association. Problem-focused coping was positively related to decision self-efficacy; however, this effect was not significant when social support was included. Significant-other support and cognitive self-consciousness emerged as additional positive predictors. Mediation analysis indicated that agreeableness negatively influenced decision self-efficacy when mediated by problem-focused coping strategies. DISCUSSION: Knowing individual and social characteristics that foster decision self-efficacy can be crucial to promote well-being in breast cancer survivors, decreasing anxiety and distress about their health.
