Psychological impact of hospital admission in cancer patients.
Observational study 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
purposeAnalyze the prevalence of anxiety and depression in hospitalized cancer patients and associated clinical and psychosocial factors.
methodsA single-center, prospective, observational study was conducted in the Oncology Department of Miguel Servet Hospital (HUMS). Patients completed Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire (DUKE), and Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS). Clinical and psychosocial variables were collected.
results166 patients were included. Prevalence of anxiety at admission was 47% (95% CI: 39-55%) and depression 43% (95% CI: 35-51%), decreasing at discharge to 40% (95% CI:32-48%) and 39% (95% CI:31-47%), respectively. Baseline anxiety was associated with anxiolytics (29.5% vs 13.6%; p = 0.012) and antidepressants use (25.6% vs 11.4%; p = 0.017); baseline depression with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG) ≥ 2 (64.7% vs 42.1%; p = 0.022) and opioid (62% vs 41.1%; p = 0.008). At discharge, higher anxiety was associated with poorer patient-oncologist relationship (26.7% vs 12.1%; p = 0.022), and higher anxiety (r = -0.15, p = 0.01) and depression (r = -0.3, p = 0.001) with lower social support. At discharge, fatigue was associated with increased anxiety (36.7% vs 18.7%; p = 0.013) and depression (35.6% vs 19.6%; p = 0.028); pre-admission anxiolytics use, to greater anxiety (28.3% vs 14.3%; p = 0.034) and depression (27.1% vs 15.2%; p = 0.074); pre-admission antidepressants use (30.5% vs 9.8%; p = 0.001) and opioids (57.6% vs 39.1%; p = 0.026) with greater depression.
conclusionsHospitalized cancer patients show high prevalence of anxiety and depression. Poorer doctor-patient relationship, less social support, fatigue, and pre-admission anxiolytics use were associated with greater anxiety and depression; pre-admission antidepressants and opioids were associated with depression.
