Factors associated with long-term functional outcomes and participation in patients with colorectal cancers.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo assess the longer-term functional, psychosocial, and participation outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors.
methodsAdult CRC survivors (n = 100) living in the community completed validated questionnaires. Descriptive statistics summarized participant characteristics, while multivariate linear regression (p < 0.05) identified predictors of functional and psychosocial outcomes, and a binary logistic regression model was applied to identify factors associated with poorer QoL.
resultsParticipants (mean age: 62.2 ± 12.7 years, 53% male, 64% with grade III-IV CRC, mean time since diagnosis of 2.4 ± 1.6 years), reported persistent challenges, including fatigue (77%), bowel dysfunction (50%), sleep disturbances (49%), fear of recurrence (48%), and pain (42%). Despite this, functional recovery was good (Clinical Functioning Information Tool (Mean): 50.3 ± 42.4), with minimal mental health impact (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale: 11.3 ± 17.2). CRC-specific quality of life was poor (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Colorectal: 97.4 ± 14.5). Community integration was fair (Community Integration Questionnaire: 18.4 ± 6.5), with moderate satisfaction in overall health (Euro Quality of Life: 71.5 ± 18.6). Regression analysis identified age > 60 years, female gender, fatigue, pain, radiotherapy, and time since diagnosis > 3 years as significant predictors of poorer outcomes.
conclusionPersistent challenges faced by CRC survivors underscore the need for personalized, interdisciplinary rehabilitation-inclusive survivorship care addressing ongoing disabilities, psychosocial issues, and unmet needs.
