Guided Imagery Relaxation (GIR) Effect on Anxiety and Self-Esteem Among Cancer Patients of Selected Hospitals.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Introduction: Cancer patients mostly become anxious and reduced self-esteem, which can negatively impact their life quality and treatment outcomes. Aim: Aim was to assess the effectiveness of GIR in reducing anxiety and enhancing self-esteem among cancer patients undergoing treatment in selected hospitals in Gujarat. Materials and Method: A quasi-experimental approach was employed involving 350 cancer patients randomly assigned to either an Experimental or a Control group. Following the exclusion of 14 participants from the Intervention group and 17 from the Comparison group, the intervention group received 30-minute daily Guided Imagery sessions for a duration of four weeks. In contrast, the Comparison group continued to receive standard care without additional interventions. Anxiety and self-esteem were measured before and after the intervention. Results: No notable differences existed between the groups at baseline. However, post-intervention analysis indicated a statistically significant decrease in anxiety and surge in self-esteem in the study group compared to the comparison group ( Conclusion: These results suggest that GIR is an effective, non-invasive approach to improving psychological well-being in cancer patients and can be integrated into routine care.
