Barriers to satisfactory primary care contacts for Swedish cancer survivors: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in Scandinavian journal of primary health 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
backgroundThe number of cancer survivors is increasing, but their health care needs are often unmet. Increased involvement of primary care has been suggested to address this. Several barriers to satisfactory primary care contacts for cancer survivors have been identified but little studied in a Swedish context.
aimTo explore barriers to satisfactory primary care contacts for Swedish cancer survivors, and factors associated with these barriers.
methodIn 2023, patients in southern Sweden diagnosed with colorectal, lung, breast, or prostate cancer 1-2 or 5-6 years ago were invited to complete a digital questionnaire. The questionnaire covered quality of life, health problems, health care needs, and health care contacts. Respondents also rated the extent to which they had experienced six types of barriers to satisfactory primary care contacts. Logistic regression models were fitted to explore the relationship between barriers and other questionnaire variables.
resultsA total of 8262 individuals were invited, and 2131 responded. Two-thirds (1429/2131; 67%) reported one or more barriers to satisfactory primary care contacts. Lack of
conclusionFrom the perspective of Swedish cancer survivors, improved relational continuity and access to primary care is needed.
