Association between chronic stress-related amygdala metabolic activity and distant metastasis in colorectal cancer.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Chronic stress has been implicated in cancer progression through neuroendocrine and inflammatory pathways, but its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains uncertain. The amygdala, a key stress-responsive brain structure, demonstrates measurable metabolic activity on Patients and methods: This study included patients with newly diagnosed CRC who underwent pre-treatment ¹ Results: Seventy-six patients were analyzed, of whom 21 (27.6%) had distant metastasis. AmygA was significantly higher in patients with distant metastasis than in those without (1.17 ± 0.06 vs. 1.08 ± 0.06; Conclusions: Elevated amygdala metabolic activity on pre-treatment ¹
