Towards enhancing the representativeness of patient-reported outcomes collection at community cancer centers.

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
Objectives: While patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can enhance cancer care, their implementation in community-based settings remains underexplored. This study compared patient characteristics and response rates between community and academic hospitals within the Mass General Brigham (MGB) health system, a large integrated health network with a standardized PROM program. Methods: We analyzed data from 31,164 adult cancer patients seen at three community and two academic radiation oncology clinics within MGB from 2020 to 2024. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global-10 health questionnaire was consistently administered to all patients seen at these clinics. Patient characteristics and response rates were compared by site of care. Results: Community sites had higher proportions of older adults, females, English speakers, and patients with a high school or less education. Over time, PROM collection improved significantly overall and across subgroups at both community and academic sites. Response rates were relatively lower at community sites than at academic sites, with disparities most evident among older adults, males, and those with federal insurance. Conclusion: Although PROM collection improved over time across MGB-affiliated radiation oncology clinics, older male patients and those with federal insurance remain key targets for further efforts to enhance PROM representativeness between community and academic settings.
