Baseline characteristics of survivors, primary care clinicians, and oncologists in a randomized trial of a shared care, self-management intervention for cancer survivors.
Trial report 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeLung and colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors experience late and long-term treatment effects and challenges with navigating care. Few evidence-based interventions exist to support survivor needs. This paper describes participant recruitment and pre-randomization baseline characteristics and outcomes from a survivorship self-management intervention trial in lung and CRC.
methodsBaseline outcome measures were collected from survivors, primary care providers (PCP), and oncologists. Enrolled participants were survivors of lung or CRC, were 4-6 months post-treatment completion, age 18 or older, and could read and understand English. Survivor outcome measures included geriatric assessment, quality of life (QOL), communication, knowledge, and self-efficacy. PCP and oncologist outcome measures assessed perceived knowledge, communication, and care coordination regarding survivorship care.
resultsThe trial completed accrual over 4 years and enrolled 404 participants across 15 clinical practice sites in Southern California. At baseline, most survivors reported high (mean = 71.11/100) levels of physical functioning and social support but moderate (mean = 53.29/100) levels of social interactions. QOL scores were low for emotional and functional well-being, with survivors of lung cancer reporting lower physical well-being (20.92/28) and total QOL (101.1/136). PCPs and oncologists reported minimal problems with exchanging information or transferring care in a timely manner. Survivors reported challenges with timely care, appointments, and support managing treatment effects.
conclusionsBaseline characteristics illustrate persistent challenges in survivor QOL and perceived quality of care coordination and communication among survivors, oncologists, and PCPs. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Opportunities for improvements in cancer survivorship care delivery exist and will ultimately support survivors' QOL and outcomes.
