Unmet Supportive Care Needs in Cancer Survivors in Spain: A Multicentre Cross-Sectional Study on Prevalence and Sociodemographic and Disease-Related Risk Factors.
Article in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis multicentre study investigates unmet supportive care needs (SCNs) among cancer survivors in Spain and analyses sociodemographic and cancer-related risk factors.
methodsA cross-sectional design was used with 1862 cancer survivors aged 18-92 years who had completed primary treatment with curative intent and were disease-free. Participants responded to the Cancer Survivors' Unmet Needs (CaSUN) questionnaire. Descriptive and multivariate analyses explored SCNs in the total sample and subgroups, as well as differences according to sociodemographic and cancer-related variables.
resultsAt least 20% of participants reported 18 needs out of a total of 35 identified by the CaSUN questionnaire. One-third to half reported needs in the comprehensive care and information domain. Risk factors for reporting more needs included younger age; female sex; not having a partner; being on sick leave or unemployed; having a diagnosis of haematological, breast or gynaecological cancer; receiving systemic treatment (chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy); and being at an earlier stage of survival.
conclusionsThe study highlights significant unmet care needs among cancer survivors in Spain and the urgency of improving management of the physical and psychosocial effects of cancer and its treatment. Special attention should be given to those at greatest risk through personalised and comprehensive care strategies integrated into survivorship programs.
