Associations of fear of recurrence and social support with post-traumatic stress disorder and disease recurrence in patients with severe acute pancreatitis: a retrospective study.
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
Objective: To explore the correlations among fear of recurrence, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social support and disease recurrence in patients discharged after severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), so as to provide evidence for psychological intervention and recurrence prevention in SAP survivors. Methods: A total of 855 adult inpatients newly diagnosed with SAP at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2020 to April 2025 were retrospectively enrolled. Baseline clinical data and 12-month post-discharge follow-up data including SAP recurrence events and psychological scale scores were collected. Intergroup comparison, correlation analysis, multivariate Logistic regression, linear regression and mediating effect model analyses were performed for statistical analysis. Results: The patients were divided into the recurrence group (144 cases) and non-recurrence group (711 cases). Baseline demographic characteristics, past medical history, etiology and disease severity were comparable between the two groups, except that the recurrence group had a significantly higher ICU admission rate ( Conclusion: Fear of recurrence is positively associated with PTSD symptoms in SAP patients, while high social support is negatively associated with this adverse psychological impact via a buffering interaction effect. PTSD severity is independently associated with an increased risk of SAP recurrence. These findings highlight the importance of psychological assessment and social support interventions in the long-term management of SAP survivors.
