The effect of peer support on fear of disease progression in patients with glioma: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Due to the characteristics of high recurrence rate, high disability rate and high mortality rate, glioma patients will have a high level of fear of disease progression (FoP), which further affects the happiness and quality of life of patients. Peer support is a powerful, sustained and affordable intervention that plays a positive role in many diseases by providing patients with the emotional, social and practical assistance necessary to manage their disease and maintain their health through a variety of intervention forms. Therefore, peer support may be an effective way to reduce FoP and improve mental health in patients with glioma. Methods: Eight databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, PsycNET, MEDLINE, Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection and Web of Science) will be used to select eligible studies that were published from inception to March, 2026. The eligible studies will be screened, extracted and then the methodological quality will be evaluated independently by two reviewers. RevMan version 5.3 software and Stata version 18.0 software will be used for meta-analysis. Conclusion: The results of this meta-analysis will provide evidence for the effectiveness of peer support in patients with glioma. In the future, this study will provide theoretical basis for developing individualized peer support intervention programs to improve adverse health emotions such as FoP, fatigue, depression and anxiety in glioma patients. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD 42024556385.
