The Role of Fatalism in Coping: Disparities in Psychological Distress Among Patients With Indolent Blood Cancers.
Article in Cancer medicine, 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
Patients with indolent blood cancers managed with observation often experience psychological distress. Racial disparities in blood cancer survival are well documented, but not fully understood. One potential contributor is the mental health burden, as racial minorities experience higher psychosocial stress. This study examined racial disparities in cancer-related stress and coping strategies in patients undergoing observation for indolent blood cancers. Participants completed measures regarding sociodemographics, health behaviors, cancer-specific stress, and psychological adjustment to cancer. Patients were categorized as racially minoritized (Asian, Black, or Hispanic) or non-minoritized (White non-Hispanic). Multivariable analyses showed the racially minoritized group reported higher responses of fatalism as a coping strategy (adjusted mean difference of 1.8, 95% CI 0.47-3.17, p = 0.01). These findings reflect prior studies linking greater cancer fear and fatalism in racial minorities to reduced follow-up and delayed treatment, underscoring the importance of understanding these attitudes to address outcome disparities in patients with indolent blood cancers.
