Posttreatment health interventions for adult cancer survivors and their families: an integrated review.
Review in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis review aimed to synthesize the literature regarding health interventions delivered to adult cancer survivors and their families during posttreatment phase.
methodsAn integrative literature review was conducted that included quantitative and qualitative studies. The search was carried out in four databases using the same terms or MeSH terms and included data from January 2012 to February 2024. After quality assessment, data were extracted and synthesized. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO.
resultsAmong the seven studies included, two studies were randomized controlled trials, three were observational, and two utilized a qualitative approach. The studies originated from France, Australia, Canada, the UK, and the USA. In total, 704 participants were included, 294 were cancer survivors, 40 were non-cancer patients, 271 were family and caregivers, and 99 were healthcare professionals. The studies assessed survival durations after cancer treatment, ranging from 18 months to 6 years. The sparse interventions found across the studies used a multifaceted approach tailored to address various aspects of cancer survivorship and caregiver support.
conclusionThis review provides insights into the complex landscape of posttreatment support requirements for cancer survivors and their family caregivers. This finding underscores the critical necessity for additional intervention research involving comprehensive, accessible, and supportive services that address the multifaceted dimensions of survivorship for the patient and family as a unit.
