Acceptance in Patients With Cancer: A Scoping Review.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 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
backgroundCancer is generally perceived as a major stressor. Occasionally, patients are able to accept their diagnosis and prognosis, and it is not uncommon for patients who initially experience great distress to eventually learn to accept their disease. A deeper understanding of acceptance can enable clinicians to better support patients in achieving a more peaceful state of mind. The purpose of this literature review was to provide a comprehensive overview of existing research on acceptance in patients with cancer. RECENT
findingsStudy selection resulted in the inclusion of 54 studies. All studies except one were published after the year 2000. Acceptance was defined in terms of cognition, emotion, behavior, spiritual processes, social processes, or other terms. Acceptance focused on disease, illness, cancer, poor prognosis/imminent death, or was not specified, and was measured by interview or questionnaire. Evidence was found for a range of factors associated with acceptance.
conclusionsAcceptance is a relatively new field of research, characterized by significant heterogeneity in both its definition and focus, as well as the hypothesized determinants and outcomes. To advance this field, it is essential to develop a generally accepted definition of acceptance and to consistently specify its focus. The present scoping review provides a solid foundation for this endeavor.
