Food insecurity among adult cancer survivors in the United States.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06002269 (A Home-based Lifestyle Intervention for Optimizing Surgical Outcomes Among Urinary Bladder Cancer Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 25 papers.
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.

Abstract
purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of food insecurity among US adults with a history of a cancer diagnosis and to understand if socio-demographic factors and cancer characteristics (i.e., time since diagnosis, cancer type) relate to food insecurity.
methodsThis was a secondary analysis of cancer survivors drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2011-2014. Weighted analyses included descriptive, bivariate, and multinomial logistic regression.
resultsOf the cancer survivors identified in the sample (n = 1,022), 8.36% were food insecure. In bivariate analysis, several factors were significantly associated with food insecurity among cancer survivors, including female gender, younger age, non-Hispanic black or Hispanic race/ethnicity, lower income, no insurance coverage, lower education, single relationship status, having children at home, having poor health or diet, and cancer characteristics (i.e., non-melanoma skin cancer, female reproductive cancer). In logistic regression analyses, odds of food insecurity decreased with older age and higher income and increased with poor health, although cancer type was no longer significant.
conclusionsThough a low proportion of cancer survivors indicated being food insecure, food insecurity was evident, and this study identified socio-demographic factors related to food insecurity which may be important to consider in clinical and community health settings serving cancer survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Nutrition is essential throughout the cancer care trajectory, including survivorship. Clinicians should consider processes for screening patients, especially younger and lower income patients, for food insecurity through all stages of treatment and particularly as part of survivorship planning. Furthermore, availability and referral to community partners for nutrition and food support is essential.
