1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSurvivorship care plans (SCPs) summarize cancer treatment and guide risk-based follow-up for cancer survivors, yet remain difficult to create, share, and use. Stakeholder perspectives are needed to inform usable approaches.

objectiveTo characterize how SCPs are created, shared, and used in pediatric oncology and identify stakeholder priorities for improving workflows and SCP design.

methodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with childhood cancer survivors and family members, primary care providers (PCPs), and oncology clinicians at a single academic center. Interviews explored SCP receipt or creation, usefulness, barriers, and communication across care settings. Transcripts were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis, with interpretation informed by a sociotechnical work-system perspective.

resultsTwenty-one participants were interviewed: seven survivor/family participants (one survivor, six caregivers), nine PCPs, and five oncology clinicians. Four higher order themes were identified: (i) Survivorship care remained oncology-centered, reflecting relational continuity developed during treatment and uncertainty about shared-care roles. (ii) SCPs were valued but poorly integrated into clinical workflows. (iii) SCP content reflected standardized documentation more than tailored user needs: families needed understandable information, PCPs needed concise action items and role clarity, and oncology clinicians needed detailed treatment and guideline information. (iv) Stakeholders viewed digital and AI-assisted tools as potentially helpful for reducing manual work and improving access, but emphasized accuracy, transparency, and oversight.

conclusionSCP challenges extend beyond the document to surrounding systems of communication, responsibility, and workflow. Future SCPs should be embedded in clinical processes and designed as role-specific, user-centered tools, with technology supporting rather than replacing clinician judgment and relational continuity.
