Survivorship care and cancer survivors' preventive health behaviors by sexual orientation and gender identity.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 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
purposeWe examined US survivorship care delivery and health behaviors to determine which aspects of survivorship care delivery enhance preventive health behaviors of survivors who differ by sexual orientation and gender identity.
methodsWe combined 2014-2023 data of the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System from US states and territories that administered the sexual orientation and gender identity module and the treatment-specific cancer survivorship module. Our analytic sample consisted of 37,185 cancer survivors, of whom 1049 reported as sexual and gender minorities (SGM).
resultsWe found that SGM survivors had worse post-cancer preventive behaviors when compared to heterosexual cisgender survivors. Further, when analyzing the impact of survivorship care plans (SCPs) and provider type, we determined that only heterosexual cisgender survivors' preventive health behaviors were enhanced and not those of SGM survivors.
conclusionsOur findings highlight the urgency of developing targeted interventions to enhance care coordination and survivorship programs for SGM survivors of cancer to more effectively support their recovery needs and post-cancer preventive health behaviors with the goals of enhancing their quality of life and overall well-being. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: In the USA, SGM survivors, compared to heterosexual survivors, are less often cared for by a specialist and engage less frequently in post-cancer preventive health behaviors. For these reasons, targeted interventions are needed to improve cancer and survivorship care coordination and to more effectively address the specific post-cancer preventive health needs of SGM individuals being treated for and surviving cancer.
