Cancer rehabilitation in India: Current status, scope, and future perspectives.
Review in World journal of clinical 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
Cancer rehabilitation is a critical component of comprehensive cancer care, aiming to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors by addressing physical, psychological, and social challenges following treatment. In India, with rising cancer incidence and a growing survivor population, the need for effective rehabilitation services is more pronounced than ever. However, despite significant progress in cancer treatment, rehabilitation remains an underdeveloped and underutilized area of care in the country. This mini-review explores the current status of cancer rehabilitation in India, highlighting existing gaps in healthcare infrastructure, access, and awareness. It examines the scope of rehabilitation services-including physical therapy, psychosocial support, palliative care, and vocational rehabilitation-and identifies regional variations in service availability. Furthermore, the mini-review outlines challenges faced by healthcare providers, such as a shortage of trained professionals, limited funding, and cultural stigmas surrounding cancer. Future perspectives on cancer rehabilitation in India emphasize the need for policy reforms, integration of rehabilitation into national cancer care programs, and promotion of multidisciplinary care teams. The article concludes with recommendations for expanding cancer rehabilitation services to meet the evolving needs of survivors and to enhance their long-term well-being in India.
