Classifying family resilience trajectory of patients undergoing lung cancer surgery: a longitudinal study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 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
backgroundLung cancer creates significant challenges for patients and families. Surgery and recovery bring heavy physical and psychological burdens. Family resilience, the ability to adapt and recover from crises, is vital for coping. However, current research is mostly cross-sectional and fails to reveal how family resilience changes over time. This study aims to identify the distinct trajectories and predictors of family resilience in lung cancer patients undergoing surgery.
aimTo identify trajectories of family resilience and their predictors in lung cancer surgery patients.
methodsThis longitudinal study initially enrolled 442 patients, with 381 completing follow-up at 2 weeks (T1) and 3 months (T2). Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected at baseline (T0). Family resilience, psychological resilience, and perceived social support were assessed at all three time points. K-means clustering and multinomial logistic regression were used to identify trajectories and predictors. STROBE guidelines were followed.
resultsThree trajectories emerged: Cluster A (28.9%, high baseline with a rapid decline), Cluster B (42.3%, moderate baseline with a gradual decline), and Cluster C (28.9%, low baseline with a slight rise and a following decline). Predictors of Cluster A included male gender, no comorbidities, and greater psychological and perceived social support. Older age (51-60) and low income (< 1000 RMB) predicted Cluster B. Middle income (1000-5000 RMB) and no family cancer history predicted Cluster C.
conclusionFamily resilience showed three distinct trajectories. Males without comorbidities and with greater perceived social support had higher family resilience. Females, middle-income households, no cancer family history, and low perceived social support were linked to low family resilience. Early nursing intervention is essential for at-risk families.
