Perspectives of cancer survivors on the role of different healthcare providers in an integrated delivery system.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe patient perspectives on survivorship care 1 year after cancer diagnosis.
methodsThe study was conducted at an integrated healthcare delivery system in western Washington State. Participants were patients with breast, colorectal, and lung cancer who had enrolled in a randomized control trial (RCT) of oncology nurse navigation to improve early cancer care. Those alive and enrolled in the healthcare system 1 year after diagnosis were eligible for this analysis. Participants completed surveys by phone. Questions focused on receipt of treatment summaries and care plans; discussions with different providers; patient opinions on who does and should provide their care; and patient perspectives primary care providers' (PCP) knowledge and skills related to caring for cancer survivors
resultsOf the 251 participants in the RCT, 230 (91.6%) responded to the 12-month phone survey and were included in this analysis; most (n = 183, 79.6%) had breast cancer. The majority (84.8%) considered their cancer specialist (e.g., medical, radiation, surgical or gynecological oncologist) to be their main provider for cancer follow-up and most (69.4%) had discussed follow-up care with that provider. Approximately half of patients were uncertain how well their PCP communicated with the oncologist and how knowledgeable s/he was in caring for cancer survivors.
conclusionsOne year after diagnosis, cancer survivors continue to view cancer specialists as their main providers and are uncertain about their PCP's skills and knowledge in managing their care. Our findings present an opportunity to help patients understand what their PCPs can and cannot provide in the way of cancer follow-up care. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Additional research on care coordination and delivery is necessary to help cancer survivors manage their care between primary care and specialty providers.
