Age modulates, religious coping mediates: the role of attitude to self in cancer patients' quality of life.

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
Background: Cancer significantly impacts psychological well-being and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This is particularly evident in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where healthcare disparities exacerbate distress. Cognitive vulnerabilities, including negative generalization, self-criticism, and high standards, may influence HRQoL through their effects on coping mechanisms. Religious coping, shaped by cultural norms in LMICs, may mediate these relationships, with age as a potential moderator. Objective: This study examines how attitudes toward self (ATS), religious coping, and age influence HRQoL among cancer patients in an LMIC context. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 565 cancer patients in a University Teaching Hospital, Southwest Nigeria completed a standardized and validated self-report measures of ATS, HRQoL, and religious coping. Mediation and moderation analyses were conducted using SPSS (Version 29) and SmartPLS (Version 4). Results: Negative generalization (β = -0.25, Conclusion: The study highlights the significant impact of cognitive vulnerabilities and maladaptive religious coping on the HRQoL of older cancer patients in LMICs. These findings underscore the urgent need for tailored interventions that integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with culturally and religiously sensitive approaches to improve patient outcomes. Policymakers and healthcare providers should prioritize training and resource allocation to address these challenges. Future research should focus on longitudinal patterns of coping, as well as gender-related differences, to develop more inclusive and effective strategies for enhancing the well-being of cancer patients.
