Multi-site feasibility of a web-based and telephone navigation intervention to connect lung cancer caregivers in community oncology settings with resources: Protocol for the WF-2301CD Caregiver Oncology Needs Evaluation Tool (CONNECT) trial.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundFamily caregivers of patients with lung cancer experience high levels of unmet needs, burden, and distress, yet systematic processes to identify and connect caregivers with resources are lacking in community oncology. The Caregiver Oncology Needs Evaluation Tool (CONNECT) is a hybrid intervention delivered through a combination of web-based components and telephone-based navigation to inform caregivers about resources, assess their needs, and connect them to tailored supportive care services. Initial pilot testing at a single academic center demonstrated feasibility and acceptability, but feasibility in community settings remains untested. In this study, we aim to assess the multi-site feasibility of CONNECT.
methodsThis multi-site, randomized controlled pilot trial (WF-2301CD) is conducted through the Wake Forest National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Research Base. Lung cancer caregiver-patient dyads (N = 120) are recruited from 12 community oncology practices and randomized to: CONNECT, generic resource list, or usual care. The primary objective is to assess multi-site feasibility, measured by caregiver retention at 12-weeks. Secondary objectives include evaluating caregiver accrual, participation, retention at 24-weeks, and acceptability, as well as process metrics. Exploratory objectives assess patient accrual, participation and retention. Data are collected via surveys at baseline, 12-, and 24-weeks, with additional process tracking by site staff and navigators. DISCUSSION: This trial will provide critical data on the multi-site feasibility of implementing CONNECT in community oncology practices to inform protocol and design refinements for a future efficacy trial. If feasible, future efficacy testing will focus on the impact of CONNECT on caregiver burden and distress.NCT06383988.
