Financial Distress Screening and Navigation in Pediatric Oncology Within the National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program.
Article in JCO oncology practice, 2025. 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
purposeCancer-related financial hardship is associated with poor quality of life, risk of household material hardship, and psychological distress for families affected by pediatric cancer. Current processes on financial distress screening and financial navigation across the pediatric National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) network remain unknown.
methodsFinancial distress screening and financial navigation services among NCORP practices were assessed using two survey items from the 2022 NCORP Landscape Assessment Survey. Practices answering yes to providing oncology care for pediatric patients were included. Univariable models were used to test associations between practice characteristics and financial screening and financial navigation.
resultsOf the 53 NCORP practices serving pediatric patients with cancer that responded to the survey, 44 (83%) reported routinely conducting financial distress screening. Most of the practices reported that financial screening is completed by social workers (n = 40/44, 91%). One third of practices reported financial screening using a survey completed by patients/caregivers (n = 14/44, 32%). Almost all practices (n = 51/53, 96%) reported responding to financial needs through a social worker. One third of the practices reported having a cancer-specific financial navigator (n = 17/53, 32%) or a nondedicated (not cancer-specific) financial navigator (n = 19/53, 36%). Practices that served a proportion of new patients with cancer at or above the national average of Hispanic individuals in the United States were as likely to screen for financial distress as practices below the national average (odds ratio, 2.42 [95% CI, 0.45 to 13.03];
conclusionMost pediatric NCORP practices report screening for financial distress. Fewer groups offer dedicated cancer-specific financial navigation, and practices vary. Further research is needed to explore the development and implementation of standardized financial distress measures and financial navigation interventions within pediatric cancer care.
