Cancer Survivorship Practices Among Cancer Care Providers and Cancer Centers in Brazil: Results From a National Survey.
Article in JCO global oncology, 2026. 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
purposeCancer survivorship evolved over the past few years in developed countries although in developing countries, guidelines and evidence-based recommendations on survivorship care are still lacking. We sought to gather information on cancer survivorship practices in Brazil to identify assets and areas for improvement.
methodsTwo surveys were developed regarding survivorship knowledge and the provision of services. Brazilian providers (physicians and nurses) and cancer center leaders received the surveys' invitation via WhatsApp groups of Brazilian oncology professionals. In addition, they were informed to share the study information with their networks (snowball sampling). The link to the surveys was advertised at Brazilian oncology conferences between August and December 2024. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the results.
resultsBetween August 13 and December 17, 2024, 194 unique providers and 28 cancer center leaders responded to the online survey. Among providers, 70% considered a cancer survivor a patient who completed cancer treatment and has no evidence of disease. The majority (60%) reported never consulting a survivorship guideline. The most common tool used to support survivors was a treatment summary (52.1%). Among cancer center leaders, 32.1% reported that their institutions have survivorship programs. The most common services offered to cancer survivors include medical follow-up, nutrition, and psychology services (100%), whereas reproductive medicine and sexual therapy were offered by 7.7% of cancer centers. Although 28.6% of the cancer center leaders reported that nurses specialized in oncology participate in follow-up care of cancer survivors who completed curative treatment, 14.9% of providers responded that these nurses are involved in survivorship follow-up.
conclusionCancer care providers and cancer centers from Brazil can benefit from culturally tailored survivorship guidelines to better address cancer survivors' needs.
