Quality of life and supportive care needs in prostate cancer: the impact of treatment received and care service utilization among Māori and non-Māori patients in New Zealand.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundProstate cancer treatment can lead to significant long-term side effects that impact patients' quality of life and supportive care needs (SCN). This study explores the associations between quality of life (QoL) and SCN among prostate cancer survivors, with a focus on the impact of treatment received, care service utilization, and the differences between Māori and non-Māori patients.
methodsRandom stratified sampling data were collected from 1075 prostate cancer survivors who were diagnosed within the past 5 years. Hierarchical regression analyses examined the associations between QoL domains and SCN, adjusting for demographic, clinical, and treatment-related factors. LASSO (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) was used to select variables to test the interaction effects of different treatments.
resultsSignificant disparities were found between Māori and non-Māori patients in physical and mental health scores, care service utilization, and overall SCN. Māori men had lower scores in these areas. Most QoL domains were negatively associated with more SCN, particularly mental health and hormonal issues. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) exacerbates some negative effects of poor mental health and hormonal issues for non-Māori, while the use of care services and radical prostatectomy (RP) was associated with mitigating SCN for Māori patients.
conclusionThis study highlights the complex interplay between QoL, SCN, and treatment modalities among prostate cancer survivors in New Zealand. The findings underscore the need for culturally tailored supportive care services to address the unique needs of Māori patients.
