A comparison of chronic conditions and health characteristics between cancer survivors and non-cancer survivors.
Article in Chronic illness, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveCancer survivors have unique healthcare needs. An important consideration for survivorship is chronic diseases and health risk factors. The purpose of this study is to describe demographics, risk factors, and comorbid health conditions in adult cancer survivors.
methodWe analyzed 2019 Arizona Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data to compare cancer survivors to non-cancer survivors (aged 18 or older) to assess differences between the two populations. Adjusted and unadjusted population-based estimates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated, and multivariable logistic regression models were performed.
resultsEight thousand nine-hundred and twenty (8920) respondents (1007 survivors; 7913 non-cancer survivors) were included. Compared to non-cancer survivors, cancer survivors were more likely to be female, 65 years and older, non-Hispanic white, veterans, and less likely to be employed. Survivors had higher rates of coronary heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, kidney disease, hypertension, arthritis, multiple chronic conditions, being overweight, and being a former smoker. Survivors were more likely to report fair/poor health than non-cancer survivors. DISCUSSION: These findings can be used by healthcare and public health practitioners to evaluate the programmatic efforts and resources, implement targeted interventions toward cancer survivors, and improve health and quality of life.
