Activation and Preparedness for Survivorship Care Among Survivors of Oral and Oropharyngeal Cancers.
Article in Head & neck, 2025. 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
objectiveThe objectives were to characterize activation and preparedness for survivorship care and identify key sociodemographic variables, medical characteristics, care transition experiences, and psychosocial factors associated with preparedness and activation among recent oral and oropharyngeal cancer survivors.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 593 oral/oropharyngeal cancer survivors from cancer registries completed an online survey, and medical data were collected from the cancer registry.
resultsIn multivariable analyses, having Medicare or other types of non-private insurance and having a treatment summary were associated with more activation, and lower activation was associated with being married/partnered, having a recurrence, and reporting more information needs and more depression. Older age, having a partner, Hispanic ethnicity, having Medicare insurance, and receiving a treatment summary were associated with higher preparedness for survivorship care, and being female, multiple race, employed, receiving chemotherapy, more information needs, higher fear of recurrence, and more depression were associated with less preparedness for survivorship care.
conclusionsThis study identified factors associated with self-reported activation and preparedness for survivorship care. Future research may benefit from evaluating these risk factors using a longitudinal design. If confirmed in longitudinal studies, interventions seeking to improve self-reported activation and preparedness for survivorship care could be targeted to survivors at greater risk.
