Dietitians' practices and perspectives of the delivery of nutritional care to cancer survivors in the primary care setting.

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
purposeThe number of people living longer after a cancer diagnosis is increasing. Guidelines for cancer survivorship recommend a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight post-treatment. While cancer survivors often express the need for professional support for nutrition management, few report seeing a dietitian. This study aimed to explore primary care dietitians' experiences, practices, and perspectives in providing nutritional care to cancer survivors in Australia.
methodsThis qualitative study used in-depth, semi-structured interviews with primary care dietitians working in private practice and community care. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. A qualitative descriptive methodological approach integrated with a working analytical framework was utilized for coding and data analysis.
resultsTwenty-four dietitians working in primary care participated. Four themes and 13 sub-themes were identified: (1) diversity in dietetic practice and cancer-related care interactions; (2) accessing referral pathways and funding sources in a complex healthcare system; (3) the application of nutrition education, and upskilling in cancer care; (4) client barriers and dietitians' challenges and factors influencing confidence in cancer care.
conclusionDietitians in this study highlighted the need for clear referral pathways to primary care particularly as a continuation of cancer-related care following the acute setting. There is a need for tailored support for dietitians supporting people diagnosed with cancer in the primary care setting, including opportunities to upskill in cancer care.
