Disparities in healthcare utilization and access by length of cancer survivorship among population-based female cancer survivors.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe current study examined disparities in the associations between medically vulnerable populations and healthcare-related outcomes among population-based female cancer survivors and determined if these associations differed by length of cancer survivorship.
methodsOne thousand eight hundred ninety-seven women with a cancer history from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2016 contributed data. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated with multivariable logistic regression models to measure the associations between the predictors (race/ethnicity, poverty status, education, comorbidity status, US nativity) and outcomes (perceived health, healthcare utilization and access outcomes), overall and by length of survivorship.
resultsThere was an average of 14.3 years (SD = 11.7; range = 2-84) since initial cancer diagnosis, with 25.1% being short-term and 74.9% being long-term survivors. Overall, racial/ethnic minority women were more likely to report poor/fair health status (OR, 2.68; 95% CI 1.73-4.15) and utilizing routine care other than a doctor's office/HMO (OR, 1.61; 95% CI 1.12-2.29) in comparison with NHW survivors. Length of survivorship significantly modified the association between race/ethnicity and odds of seeing a mental health provider in the last year (p-interaction = 0.003), with short-term minority survivors being significantly more likely (OR, 2.63; 95% CI 1.29-5.35) and long-term minority survivors being less likely (OR, 0.68; 95% CI 0.37-1.23).
conclusionsRacial/ethnic disparities exist among female cancer survivors for perceived health status and certain healthcare utilization outcomes, with some differences observed by length of cancer survivorship. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: This study can begin to inform cancer survivorship care for medically vulnerable women along the cancer continuum.
