Impact of assigned care providers on involvement, information, and emotional support to cancer patients.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 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
purposePatient-reported experience measures represent the patient's voice and offer a way to evaluate continuity of care. We investigated the impact of having an assigned care provider on experienced involvement, information, and emotional support.
methodsData from a national survey sent to patients recently diagnosed with cancer. Answers were grouped and compared using Pearson's chi-square test.
resultsA total of 89.1% of respondents reported having an assigned care provider. These individuals reported higher levels of involvement, information, and emotional support compared to individuals who did not have an assigned care provider. The profession of the care provider had little impact.
conclusionAn assigned care provider is important for maintaining continuity of care. This should be encouraged in cancer care as it leads to better patient experience across all investigated domains. The widely spread use of contact nurses in cancer care in Sweden provides a solid ground for such continuity. The continuous use of patient-reported experience measures promotes more people-centered healthcare practices.
