Supportive care structures and fundings in French Comprehensive Cancer Centers: a national survey.
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 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
purposeSupportive care (SC) is an inherent part of cancer patient care in French Comprehensive Cancer Centers (CCCs). However, even within the CCC network, little is known about available care for patients and the associated funding mechanisms. This study presents an overview of the supportive care offered by the CCCs in 2023.
methodsUnicancer is a national federation of 20 French CCCs, private, nonprofit healthcare establishments specialized in oncology. This survey was carried out at a national level in 2023. Each CCC completed a structured questionnaire.
resultsThe support care services considered essential to the patient's care pathway by the National Cancer Institute are available to patients undergoing treatment in all CCCs. However, there are disparities, both in terms of access for post-treatment patients and their caregivers and in terms of access to a wider range of supportive care services. The level of structure and methods for coordinating supportive care within institutions vary among CCCs, as do the profile and number of healthcare professionals involved. Funding for supportive care, which also varies between establishments, is based on limited national and regional public funding, social security reimbursement, and sometimes on donations and legacies.
conclusionSupportive care is an essential component of the overall management of cancer patients in CCCs. However, its development varies from one hospital to another. There are many organizational and financial challenges to overcome in order to best meet the needs of all the patients being cared for. This survey may shed light on future developments in the organization and funding of supportive care in France and other countries.
