Family accommodation in childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors: A scoping review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 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
Long-term survival rates for childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancers have increased substantially, yet survivors often face ongoing physical, psychological, and social challenges. Family dynamics play a key role in survivor adjustment. Family accommodation, defined as behaviour modifications by family members intended to reduce distress, may be one such important factor influencing psychological adjustment. Despite extensive research in mental health populations, the role of family accommodation in the context of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancers has not been explored. The main objective of this scoping review is to map and synthesize existing evidence on how family accommodation has been conceptualized, measured and linked to the health, health-related behaviors, and mental health of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors. Secondary objectives are to examine the relationship between family accommodation and caregiver psychological well-being, and to identify how this construct is measured in this context. This review will include studies of any design that investigate family accommodation among individuals diagnosed with cancer between birth and 39 years of age and/or their family members. Database search will extract eligible articles from Medline ALL, Embase Classic +Embase, Emcare, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PsycInfo on the OvidSP platform, and Scopus from Elsevier from each database inception to October 2024. The review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping review guidance and will be reported according to PRISMA-ScR. By synthesizing available evidence, this review will provide a foundation for understanding how family accommodation shapes adjustment in cancer survivorship. The findings will inform future research and contribute to family-centered survivorship care. This review was preregistered on the Open Science Framework (OSF).
