Fear of disease recurrence in postoperative craniopharyngioma patients: status, influencing factors, and associations with social support and coping strategies.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 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
This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the status of social support and fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), as well as the influencing factors, in patients after craniopharyngioma surgery. A total of 168 postoperative craniopharyngioma patients were enrolled using questionnaire survey, including general data questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Fear of Progression Questionnaire Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ). The mean FCR score was 39.54±8.65, and 71.43% (120/168) of patients had clinically significant FCR (score ≥34). Univariate analysis showed that FCR was associated with education level, employment status, family history of tumors, symptom distress, personality traits, and chronic comorbidities (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression indicated that education level (β = -1.126, P<0.001), symptom distress (β = -2.661, P = 0.021), personality orientation (β = 3.153, P<0.001), and resignation coping strategy (β = 1.042, P<0.001) were independent predictors of FCR. FCR is prevalent in patients with postoperative craniopharyngioma and is independently affected by education level, symptom distress, personality traits, and negative coping strategies. Targeted psychological interventions should be provided to improve mental health and prognosis.
