Short- and long-term impact of cancer on employment and financial outcomes of adolescents and young adults (AYAs): a large population-based case-control registry study in the Netherlands.

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
backgroundAdolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors, 18-39 years at initial cancer diagnosis, often self-report negative consequences of cancer (treatment) for their career. Less is known, however, about the objective impact of cancer on employment and financial outcomes. This study examines the employment and financial outcomes of AYA cancer survivors with nationwide population-based registry data and compares the outcomes of AYAs with cancer with an age- and sex-matched control population at year of diagnosis, 1 year later (short-term) and 5 years later (long-term). PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 2527 AYAs, diagnosed in 2013 with any invasive tumor type and who survived for 5 years, were identified from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (clinical and demographic data) and linked to Statistics Netherlands (demographic, employment and financial data). AYAs were matched 1 : 4 with a control population based on age and sex (10 108 controls). Analyses included descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, independent samples t-tests, McNemar tests and logistic regression.
resultsAYA cancer survivors were significantly less often employed compared with their controls 1 year (76.1% versus 79.5%, P < 0.001) and 5 years (79.3% versus 83.5%, P < 0.001) after diagnosis, and received more often disability benefits (9.9% versus 3.1% 1 year after diagnosis, P < 0.001; 11.2% versus 3.8% 5 years after diagnosis, P < 0.001). Unemployed AYAs were more often diagnosed with higher disease stages (P < 0.001), treated with chemotherapy (P < 0.001), radiotherapy (P < 0.001) or hormone therapy (P < 0.05) and less often with local surgery (P < 0.05) compared with employed AYAs 1 and 5 years after diagnosis.
conclusionBased on objective, nationwide, population-based registry data, AYAs' employment and financial outcomes are significantly affected compared with age- and sex-matched controls, both short and long-term after cancer diagnosis. Providing support regarding employment and financial outcomes from diagnosis onwards may help AYAs finding their way (back) into society.
