Assessment of supportive care needs among cancer patients undergoing treatment: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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: Cancer diagnoses for any patient, immensely dismay his life; leading to the multiple upsets related to physical, mental, and general daily living aspects of his life. To help these patients, appropriate supportive care is essential. The modern oncology practice considers addressing supportive health care needs (SCN); as the keystone of management. This study has been undertaken to discern the supportive care needs of cancer patients in each of the domain. Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey that was carried out among cancer patients. Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF34); a validated brief questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program, version 16.0. Results: For Physical and daily living needs, scores ranged from 5 to 25 (15.93 ± 5.247). In the Psychological need's domain, scores ranged from 10 to 50 (32.50 ± 9.387). In the Health system and information needs domain, scores ranged from 13 to 55 (41.73 ± 9.590). For Patient care and support needs, scores ranged from 5 to 25 (18.64 ± 5.450). Overall, each domain of supportive care needs independently influenced the total percentage of supportive care needs reported by individuals, and all four domains together explained a significant portion of the variance in the total percentage of SCNs. Conclusion: Cancer patients in our study population experienced many unmet SCNs. These findings may prove to be the baseline for providing more information to future studies on SCNs among cancer patients. SCNs of patients need to be known by their close family members and care providers so that they can offer intervention as per need.
