From diagnosis to treatment: patients' attitudes toward cancer care.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
A cancer diagnosis is perceived as a traumatic life event, typically characterized by an initial state of shock that involves dysfunctional emotions related to uncertainty and loss of control.

Despite these challenges, cancer may also represent for some people an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth. In this regard, patients can activate coping resources, redefine life priorities, and develop greater self-awareness following the diagnosis. Building on this background, the present contribution describes a new conceptual psychological model that highlights patients' attitudes toward cancer, identifying two key dimensions:
