Exploring the experiences of cancer survivors with a mobile survivorship care plan application: A mixed-methods study.
Article in Cancer survivorship research & 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
Background: Survivorship care plans (SCPs) aid cancer survivors in transitioning from active treatment to long-term survivorship. Mobile health approaches to survivorship could enhance the effectiveness of SCPs. This study aims to better understand the perspectives and preferences cancer survivors have toward a mobile SCP application. Methods: Qualitative data were collected via semi-structured interviews among participants from the POST-Treatment Health Outcomes of Cancer Survivors (POSTHOC) randomized controlled trial, which delivered an SCP via an app or a static document. Exit interviews were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach. Then, responses were systematically categorized into structured variables for quantitative and mixed methods analysis. Results: Twenty-eight interviews were conducted among survivors who had recently completed curative treatment. Six key themes emerged: usefulness of SCPs, monitoring lifestyle behaviors and symptoms, lifestyle support, digital health, self-management and independence, and study support and design. Participant suggestions for feature customization and peer support highlight the need for SCPs to serve both physical and psychosocial needs. Conclusions: Cancer survivors found the mobile SCP application beneficial for promoting healthy behaviors and enhancing symptom management, physical activity, and nutrition. With further advancements in mobile health technologies, the SCP can evolve into an adaptable and interactive tool that supports cancer survivors through transition to long-term survivorship.
