The Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Patients with Gastrointestinal Cancer with a Stoma: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 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
backgroundPatients with gastrointestinal cancer (GIC) experience multiple psychological and physical complications during cancer treatment. A major psychological concern is the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), which can negatively affect mental health and quality of life. Therefore, implementing effective interventions to manage FCR is essential.
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an Acceptance and Commitment-Based Therapy Program (ACBTP) in reducing FCR among patients with GIC with a stoma.
methodsIn this single-blinded randomized clinical trial, 40 patients with GIC and a stoma were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 20) and control (n = 20) groups. The intervention group received eight ACBTP sessions, while the control group received routine care. Data were collected using the FCR-7 questionnaire before and one month after the intervention.
resultsThere were no statistically significant baseline differences between the two groups regarding gender, age, education, marital status, or stoma duration. Post-intervention, the intervention group had a significantly lower mean FCR score than the control group (p < 0.001).
conclusionThe ACBTP was effective in improving psychological adaptation and significantly reducing FCR in patients with GIC and a stoma. This approach could be considered as part of supportive care in cancer management.
