Implementation research on common cancers (lung, breast, and colorectal) in Asia - a systematic review.
Synthesis in Frontiers 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
Introduction: Implementation research is crucial for implementing evidence-based interventions in real-world settings. This study aims to assess and collate existing evidence on implementation research related to common cancers (lung, breast, and colorectal) conducted in Asia. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases, including PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Scopus, covering publications from 2004 to 2024. Additionally, free search engines and repositories, such as Google Scholar and Shodhganga, were searched to identify other relevant unpublished studies. A systematic review, adhering to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, was conducted. From 5750 articles, 11 studies were included that specifically investigated implementation strategies for cancer interventions in Asian populations. Findings: The review included eleven studies; four implementation studies on lung and breast cancers, and three on colorectal cancers. The included studies explored various interventions to improve cancer care, including training, awareness, and access as key implementation barriers. Context-specific strategies were crucial for successful adoption and sustainability. Most studies evaluated reach, acceptability, feasibility, adoption, fidelity, implementation cost, appropriateness, and sustainability, offering valuable insights into implementation research. Interpretation: Implementation research on common cancers (lung, breast, colorectal) in Asia is very limited, underscoring the necessity of tailored implementation strategies to integrate cancer care interventions in Asia effectively.
