What are the attitudes and beliefs of oncologists regarding potential cancer rehabilitation in a tertiary cancer center?

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
Cancer Rehabilitation (CR) is an emerging field in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. Current literature highlights the effectiveness of cancer rehabilitation in improving functional outcomes, shorter length of hospital stay, and improved quality of life. Despite this, there are very few formalized CR programs across all of North America. We conducted a survey at a tertiary cancer center without a formalized CR program to assess the perceived need of such a program and its potential development. This survey of medical, surgical, radiation and pediatric oncologists demonstrated that 92.3% of 39 respondents felt CR was somewhat to very important, particularly for their patients' issues of fatigue, deconditioning, pain management and disposition planning. These findings highlight the value seen by oncologists in the need for further cancer rehabilitation access and formalized program development in order to meet patient needs for improving functional deficits, activities of daily living and quality of life.
