Patient-Provider Cost-of-Care Conversations to Prevent Financial Toxicity.
Article in Clinical journal of oncology nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundPatient-provider cost-of-care conversations are one method to decrease the burden of financial distress. However, providers have identified a lack of confidence in initiating these conversations and time constraints as barriers.
objectivesTo improve provider confidence and patient satisfaction in four oncology clinics, a practice improvement initiative was conducted to evaluate a patient-provider cost-of-care conversation protocol.
methodsTwo physicians and four advanced practice providers implemented the protocol in their clinics. Twenty-three patients participated in cost conversations with their providers during a routine clinic visit. Seventeen patients agreed to complete a follow-up interview.
findingsProvider confidence with initiating cost-of-care conversations improved post-protocol implementation. Provider feedback reflected support for the protocol and new insight into patients' struggles with treatment-related financial toxicity. Patients reported being highly satisfied when discussing treatment costs with their providers. Comments from patients reflected their appreciation that providers took the time to discuss their financial concerns.
