1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

As of 2024, 64% of cancer survivors live five years or longer after their treatment. However, this growing population, with its specific follow-up care needs, has struggled with the transition from active cancer treatment to follow-up in primary care. More information is required on what facilitates or hinders this transition. Potential factors that influence how cancer survivors experience this transition include sex and cancer type. Using secondary thematic and content analysis of 30 colorectal and breast cancer survivors interviews, we examined the impact of sex and cancer type on survivorship experiences. Themes extracted showed that sex and cancer type influenced survivors' experience of transition both intersectionally and separately. Colorectal cancer survivors reported more late and long-term side effects than breast cancer survivors, with differently described and experienced quality of life (QOL) and unmet needs. Males relied more on their wives to manage their follow-up care and were more distant with their healthcare providers, while females took charge of their own follow-up care and reported closeness to their healthcare providers, which favorably impacted their follow-up care transition.
