Predictive role of family dysfunction on psychological morbidity in breast cancer patients.
Article in World journal of psychiatry, 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
backgroundBreast cancer affects over 2.3 million women worldwide annually, with 30%-50% experiencing psychological morbidity, including anxiety and depression. Family functioning plays a crucial role in patients' psychological adaptation to cancer, yet the specific predictive relationship between family dysfunction dimensions and psychological outcomes remains insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to systematically examine how family dysfunction predicts psychological morbidity in breast cancer patients.
aimTo explore the predictive role of family dysfunction on psychological morbidity in breast cancer patients and develop a clinical risk prediction model.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among 285 breast cancer patients from June 2022 to March 2025 at a provincial tertiary hospital. Family functioning was assessed using the Family Assessment Device, and psychological health was evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictive factors. A comprehensive risk prediction model was developed and validated.
resultsThe overall psychological morbidity rate was 41.5% (
conclusionFamily dysfunction significantly predicts psychological morbidity in breast cancer patients, with communication dysfunction being the most critical dimension. The developed risk prediction model demonstrates good accuracy for clinical decision-making.
