Nutrition Security During Cancer: A Qualitative Investigation Among Patients With Cancer on Active Treatment From an Area of Persistent Poverty.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThe objective of this paper was to qualitatively explore the eating habits and experience of nutrition security during cancer treatment among patients from an area of persistent poverty being treated in a safety net hospital oncology program.
methodsEleven in-depth interviews were conducted with current individuals with cancer who were (1) undergoing active cancer treatment at LBJ Hospital, (2) over 18 years old, (3) English speaking, and (4) residing in an Acres Homes zip code. Reflexive thematic analysis was undertaken by four members of the study team, which brought together diverse expertise in health disparities, nutrition, food culture, and health communication.
resultsFour main themes emerged from the data, including (1) food beliefs and eating behaviors in the context of cancer, (2) social and economic influences on food selection, procurement, and preparation, (3) lived experience of resiliency and coping with limited resources, and (4) the role of relationships (including social support, family, medical teams) in diet and food choice.
conclusionFindings from this study begin to fill a gap in knowledge regarding the complexities of managing nutritional needs among patients residing in an area of persistent poverty, which can inform the development of future health systems and community-based resources for those negotiating both cancer and chronically limited resources.
