The association of environmental factors with neurocognitive outcomes in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2023. 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
purposeTo investigate the association of environmental factors, rehabilitation services during therapy and socioeconomic status (SES - insurance type), with neurocognitive outcomes at the end of therapy for survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
methodsSurvivors (n = 236) treated on the St. Jude Total Therapy Study 16 completed end of therapy testing with performance measures (IQ, attention, processing speed, fine motor skills, academics) and caregiver ratings (attention, executive function, adaptive skills). Environmental factors were abstracted from the medical record.
resultsDistribution of sex (47.3% female, p = 0.399), treatment arm (45.5% low risk, 54.5% standard/high risk p = 0.929), insurance type (47.7% private, 52.3% public/none, p = 0.117), and mean age at diagnosis (7.7 vs. 6.8 years, p = 0.143) were similar for groups with (n = 110; 46.6%) and without (n = 126; 53.6%) rehabilitation services during therapy. Compared to those without rehabilitation, the rehabilitation group (n = 110; 46.4%) had more caregiver reported problems with attention (Z = -0.28 vs. 0.43, p = 0.022), executive function (Z = -0.50 vs. -0.08, p = 0.003), and adaptive skills (Z = -0.41 vs.-0.13, p = 0.031). Among the rehabilitation group, there was no difference in outcomes by insurance status. Among those without rehabilitation, those with public insurance had worse neurocognitive outcomes than those with private insurance in IQ (Z = -0.04 vs. -0.45, p = 0.0115), processing speed (Z = -0.10 vs. -0.75, p = 0.0030), reading (Z = 0.18 vs. -0.59, p < 0.0001), and math (Z = -0.04 vs. -0.50, p = 0.0021).
conclusionParticipation in rehabilitation services during early intensive therapy is associated with end of therapy caregiver-reported neurocognitive outcomes in daily life.
