Somatosensory amplification and fear of cancer recurrence: Moderating effects of emotion regulation difficulties.
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
purposeFear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is one of the most prevalent and distressing psychological concerns among cancer survivors. This study examined the association between somatosensory amplification (SSA) and FCR and tested whether emotion regulation (ER) difficulties moderate this relationship.
methodsA sample of 116 adult cancer survivors (Mage = 47.24) completed validated self-report measures assessing SSA, ER difficulties, and FCR. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted, controlling for anxiety symptom severity, age, gender, and time since treatment completion.
resultsNeither SSA nor ER difficulties were associated with FCR. Yet, the interaction between SSA and ER difficulties was statistically significant. Specifically, the positive association between SSA and FCR was evident at low and mean levels of ER difficulties, but not at high levels.
conclusionsFindings suggest that the relationship between heightened bodily sensitivity and FCR may differ according to levels of ER difficulties. Future research should explore longitudinal pathways and relevant intervention-based outcomes. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Screening for SSA and ER difficulties in survivorship care may help identify individuals for whom heightened bodily sensitivity is associated with increased FCR.
