Psychological Resilience and Associated Factors in Cancer Patients: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 remains one of the leading global health problems, with treatments that can compromise patients' quality of life.
aimsThis study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of resilience in cancer patients and to analyze the influence of psychological and social factors on disease perception. METHODS AND
resultsAn analytical cross-sectional study was conducted between April and August 2023 including 61 cancer patients under treatment. Resilience was assessed with the RS-14, anxiety and depression with HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and family functioning with the Family Apgar (Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve questionnaire). Sociodemographic and clinical data were obtained through structured questionnaires. Continuous variables were tested with Shapiro-Wilk and Levene's tests; descriptive statistics, t-tests, Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square were applied. Binary logistic regression examined resilience predictors, adjusting for confounders (BMI, employment status, surgery). Statistical significance was defined as p ⟨ 0.05. Participants were 50.8% women, aged 35-82 years. Cancer types included breast (18%), lung (29.5%), colon (9.8%), pancreas (11.5%), renal (1.6%), and others (29.5%). 11.5% had not received oncological treatment, while 93.4% underwent surgery. Most were non-smokers (82%) and retired (57.4%). Main comorbidities were respiratory (24.6%) and cardiovascular (23%). In surveys, 54.1% reported family members with cancer and 36.1% noted a lack of free time affected quality of life. Mean scores: resilience 69.3 (SD = 22.1), anxiety 10.3 (SD = 3.2), depression 11.6 (SD = 2.2), Apgar 17.1 (SD = 3.7). Logistic regression identified Apgar as the only significant predictor of resilience (OR = 0.294, 95% CI 0.113-0.761, p = 0.012), with higher family functioning linked to lower resilience. Model accuracy was 81.1% overall, 90.9% for resilient, and 65.0% for non-resilient patients.
conclusionsSocial, clinical, and family situations all have an impact on cancer patients' resilience. In order to maximize resilience and quality of life, family functioning appears as a contradictory component, indicating the necessity of psychological, family-centered, and interdisciplinary interventions.
