Symptom clusters and their influencing factors among Vietnamese women after cancer treatment.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study aimed to (1) identify symptom clusters in Vietnamese women with cancer and (2) examine the factors influencing those identified clusters. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 5 hospitals across Vietnam from September to December 2023. A total of 217 valid data sets from women with cancer were included. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to identify symptom clusters, followed by structural equation modeling to confirm the underlying structure. Fatigue and appetite loss were recognized as the most common symptoms. The exploratory factor analysis showed two distinct groups of factors, occupying 54.66% of total variance: fatigue, appetite loss, pain, sleep issues, hair loss, nausea, and sexual issues (Factor 1-physical cluster) and mood issues, personal stress, depression, and anxiety (Factor 2-psychological cluster). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that place of residence (B = 0.318; p < 0.05) and occupation (B = 0.263; p < 0.05) were significant predictors for the physical cluster. For the psychological cluster, physical activity (B = - 0.599, p < 0.001) and the presence of chronic diseases (B = - 0.328, p < 0.05) were significant influencing factors, with physical activity demonstrating a strong negative association. The physical and psychological symptom clusters underlie the multidimensional nature of symptom burden in women with cancer and highlight the need for integrative, gender-responsive care models. Culturally tailored, cluster-based interventions are required to enhance survivorship care and patients' outcomes and quality of life.
