The relationship between resilience, financial toxicity, and quality of life in patients with primary liver cancer: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundPsychological stress and financial hardship are long-standing issues for patients with primary liver cancer. Financial toxicity levels are closely related to quality of life, and resilience is a key psychosocial resource for maintaining quality of life.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between resilience, financial toxicity, and quality of life.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 268 patients with primary liver cancer between July and December 2023. CD-RISC, COST-PROM, and QOL-LC were used to identify patients’ resilience, financial toxicity, and quality of life. Univariate and multivariate analyses examined factors associated with quality of life, and Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the three scales. Subsequently, mediation analysis was used to analyze the effects of resilience on financial toxicity and quality of life.
resultsThe patients’ average QOL-LC score was 125.41. Univariate analysis revealed that residence, monthly disposable household income, metastasis, China liver cancer staging (CNLC), and number of hospitalizations in the last year were statistically significant factors associated with quality of life. Higher resilience and lower financial toxicity (indicated by a higher COST-PROM score) were both moderately positively correlated with quality of life. Mediation analysis indicated that resilience partially mediated the relationship between financial toxicity and quality of life (mediation effect = 31.2%).
conclusionsThe resilience exhibited by patients with primary liver cancer may help mitigate the impact of economic pressures on quality of life. Given its cross-sectional design, further validation of this causal pathway will undoubtedly constitute an important avenue for future research.
