Survivors of childhood cancer in Latin America: Role of foundations and peer groups in the lack of transition processes to adult long-term follow-up.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundOver the last decade, the population of childhood cancer survivors has rapidly increased in Latin America, opening a long chapter of challenges for healthcare providers in these countries to provide follow-up and adult care.
aimIn the process of exploring childhood cancer parent and patient engagement in resource-limited settings, we highlight the challenges faced by Latin American survivors from El Salvador, Mexico, and Peru as they transitioned from receiving cancer treatment to life as a cancer survivors. METHODS AND
resultsFocus group discussions and interviews were performed as part of a larger qualitative study involving 10 low and middle-income countries in four continents regarding patient and caregiver engagement in childhood cancer treatment. We present the results of the Latin-American survivors and their experiences finishing treatment and life outside the pediatric oncology follow-up system. Themes regarding a) losing eligibility for pediatric surveillance and care, b) the importance of peer survivors, and c) the need for giving back were part of their stories.
conclusionWe suggest that given the lack of organized support from healthcare systems and providers for survivors' proper transition into adult-centered care, foundations and non-governmental organizations can provide transitional support, offer space for guidance/information, and work towards collaboration among systems for future integrated programs.
