Patient perspectives on cost and quality measures in value-based cancer care.
Article in Health affairs scholar, 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
Introduction: Patient perspectives and preferences are important when establishing quality and cost metrics for value-based payment (VBP) models, to ensure patient-centered cancer care and VBP incentives are aligned. Methods: Insights were gathered about value-based care (VBC) models from patients with Medicare and one of 4 common cancers (multiple myeloma, bladder, lung, and prostate) included in Medicare's Enhancing Oncology Model. This study included 4 virtual 2-hour focus groups and a 2-hour co-creation session. Aspects of cost and quality important to cancer care were identified (value is defined as the ratio of quality/cost). Results: Insights from the focus groups ( Conclusion: In this exploratory qualitative research, patients with cancer expressed a need for transparency of VBC dynamics to help preserve the patient-physician relationship and their ability to receive innovative, affordable, and accessible care.
