Financial Distress Among Older Adults With Cancer.
Article in JCO oncology practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeFinancial distress (FD) among older adults with cancer is not well studied. We sought to characterize prevalence and factors associated with FD among older adults with cancer and the association of FD with geriatric assessment (GA) -identified deficits. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe included adults age ≥ 60 years with cancer in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer and Aging Resilience Evaluation Registry who underwent GA during initial consultation with a medical oncologist before starting systemic therapy. We captured FD using a single-item question: "Do you have to pay for more medical care than you can afford?" We built multivariable models to study the impact of sociodemographic/clinical factors on FD as well as the association of FD with GA impairments.
resultsWe identified 447 older adults with a median age of 69 years; 60% were men, 75% were White, and colorectal (26%) and pancreatic (19%) cancers were the most common. Overall, 27% (n = 121) reported having FD. Factors associated with FD included being Black (v White; odds ratio [OR], 2.26; 95% CI, 1.35 to 3.81;
conclusionMore than a quarter of older adults with cancer reported FD at the time of initial presentation to an oncologist. Several demographic factors and GA impairments were associated with FD.
