Network analysis of the interrelationships among stigma, resilience, and self-esteem in lung cancer patients.
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
Stigma is a significant psychosocial challenge for patients with lung cancer and is closely related to psychological resilience and self-esteem. However, most existing studies have examined these factors in isolation, overlooking the complex interrelationships among their specific dimensions. This cross-sectional network analysis investigated 248 patients with lung cancer using validated measures of stigma, resilience, and self-esteem. A regularized partial correlation network comprising 11 dimensions was estimated using the EBICglasso algorithm. Expected Influence (EI) and Bridge Expected Influence (BEI) were used to assess overall and cross-community connectivity, respectively. "Hope for the Future" showed the highest observed EI (EI = 1.91), closely followed by "Support and Coping," while "Self-Negation" showed the highest observed BEI (BEI = 0.517). These findings characterize the interconnected structure of stigma, resilience, and self-esteem and highlight future-oriented hope and negative self-evaluation as potentially relevant dimensions for psychosocial assessment and intervention development, although their roles should be further examined in longitudinal studies.
