Analysis of the current status and influencing factors of kinesiophobia in tumor patients with peripherally inserted central catheter: A cross-sectional study.
Article in PloS one, 2026. 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
backgroundPeripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs) are widely utilized in tumor patients due to their lower risk of complications, extended indwelling duration, reduced local tissue trauma, and overall cost-effectiveness. Based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) theory, this study aims to explore the current status and influencing factors of kinesiophobia in tumor patients with PICCs. The study provides reference for clarifying the mechanism of kinesiophobia and developing nursing intervention plans.
methodThrough convenience sampling, 162 tumor patients who underwent PICC maintenance in three hospitals in Jiangsu Province from December 4th, 2023, to December 31st, 2024 were selected. The patient general information questionnaire, Tampa scale of kinesiophobia, medical coping modes questionnaire, exercise self-efficacy scale, risk perception questionnaire, outcome expectation scale, exercise intention scale, and social support rating scale were used for evaluation.
resultTumor patients carrying PICC had a kinesiophobia score of 20.11 ± 6.94 points, and 42.59% of tumor patients with PICC had kinesiophobia. The results of multiple linear regression showed that the duration of catheter placement(t = -3.506,P = 0.001), pain(t = 2.652,P = 0.009), exercise self-efficacy(t = -3.891,P < 0.001), and risk perception(t = 3.157,P = 0.002) are the main influencing factors of kinesiophobia in tumor patients with PICC.
conclusionThe findings underscore a significant clinical concern regarding kinesiophobia among tumor patients with PICC. It is essential for nursing staff to implement systematic assessments and tailored interventions aimed at mitigating kinesiophobia. Addressing this issue can contribute to reducing associated adverse reactions and improving patient mobility and overall quality of life.
