APP CROSS: A Novel Scoring System to Evaluate Advanced Practice Provider Clinical Rotation Requests in Oncology.
Article in Journal of the advanced practitioner in oncology, 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
With the rapid growth of nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant (PA) programs nationwide, health systems face increasing demands for clinical rotations, particularly in specialized areas such as oncology. Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center developed a standardized scoring system, the Advanced Practice Provider Clinical Rotation in Oncology Scoring System (APP CROSS), to address this challenge. This feasibility study assesses the implementation, practicality, and effectiveness of the APP CROSS in streamlining the evaluation and selection of APP clinical rotation candidates. The scoring system was designed to align with strategic health-system goals, such as stabilizing the workforce, community engagement, and enhancing quality care, using criteria that include system employment, prior rotations, oncology experience, personal statement quality, proximity to graduation, and preferred school enrollment. Scoring criteria include employment within the health system, previous rotations, oncology experience, quality of personal statements, proximity to graduation, and enrollment in preferred schools. While initially tailored for oncology, the tool's principles are generalizable. Early data suggest the APP CROSS promotes objective student selection, enhancing recruitment and retention potential. Future studies are warranted to assess long-term outcomes related to APP retention and preceptor satisfaction.
