A cross-sectional population-based survey looking at the impact of cancer survivorship care plans on meeting the needs of cancer survivors in the posttreatment stage.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the impact of receiving a survivorship care plan (SCP) on meeting cancer survivors' overall, informational, physical, emotional, and practical needs. Since the recommendation for implementation of SCPs, there have been numerous studies on their effectiveness with mostly inconclusive results.
methodsAll Nova Scotia survivors meeting specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified from the Nova Scotia Cancer Registry and sent the 83-item survey to assess experiences and needs across five domains (overall, informational, physical, emotional, and practical). Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages) and chi-square analyses were used to examine and report survey findings.
resultsThe response rate was 44.6%, with 1514 respondents. SCPs were significantly associated (p < 0.00001) with receiving timely help and support to meet survivors' overall, informational, physical, emotional, and practical needs posttreatment. For the most part, survivors' clinical characteristics, such as cancer type, time since treatment, chronic comorbidities, and metastases, did not result in differences among the five outcomes.
conclusionsThose who received a SCP reported higher agreement on all five outcomes in comparison to those who did not receive a SCP. Further work should evaluate the delivery of SCPs and the components of SCPs that are most likely to contribute to positive survivor outcomes.
