Exploring health system factors related to the quality of life of people with (a history of) cancer: a rapid review.
Review in Health and quality of life outcomes, 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
backgroundCancer is a leading cause of death in Europe, and it has a major impact on the quality of life of those affected by it. Quality of life is a multifaceted concept affected by a range of factors, namely individual, organisational, and national health system factors. Despite existing research on individual and organisational aspects, little is known about the association between health system factors and quality of life. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the health system factors that relate to the quality of life of people with (a history of) cancer and to identify potential gaps in literature.
methodsWe conducted a rapid review to gain insight into what is known in scientific literature regarding health system factors that are related to the quality of life of people with (a history of) cancer. We complemented our findings with a broad search in various grey literature databases.
resultsThe rapid review included 31 studies, which were supplemented by six health policy reports and one book chapter. Based on the review of scientific and grey literature, we constructed a list of ten health system factors that may relate to the quality of life of people with (a history of) cancer.
conclusionsWe compiled a list of ten health system factors that may relate to the quality of life of people with (a history of) cancer. Seven factors were identified from and described in scientific literature. Three factors, namely 'policy and vision', 'research and innovation', and 'quality of care delivery', were identified in grey literature. The relation of these health system factors needs to be studied further to better understand what may impact on the quality of life of people with (a history of) cancer.
