Measurement properties of the Spanish version of assessment of survivor concerns in cancer patients.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 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
One of the main concerns for cancer patients is the progression of the disease and their health. This study sought to examine the psychometric properties, validity evidence based on relations with other variables, and factorial invariance (by sex, age, and tumor site) of the Spanish version of the Assessment of Survival Concerns (ASC). The instrument was translated into Spanish following a back-to-back translation procedure to ensure linguistic and conceptual equivalence. Participants completed the questionnaire in a paper-and-pencil format as part of a prospective, multicenter study including 1,052 patients who also completed other related psychosocial measures. The findings support the reliability and validity of the ASC scores in assessing cancer-related concerns. The ASC is a brief, unidimensional measure with acceptable fit (RMSEA = 0.038, CFI = 0.998, TLI = 0.995, SRMR = 0.026). A strong invariance solution demonstrated acceptable fit across sex, age, and tumor site. The omega reliability estimate was ω = 0.83. Higher ASC scores were positively associated with greater symptoms of depression, anxiety, and psychological distress, as well as with higher physical symptom burden, indicating that patients experiencing more concern also reported worse psychological and functional outcomes. The Spanish version of the ASC provides reliable and valid scores for assessing cancer-related concerns in patients with metastatic cancer.
