Life Milestone Achievement Among Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Population-Based Cohort and Matched Case-Control Study.
Article in Pediatric blood & cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundYoung adult childhood cancer survivors (YACCS) experience persistent challenges that could delay their transition to independent adulthood. This study examined disparities in life milestone achievement between YACCS and a matched population-based control group and assessed the impact of clinical and demographic factors, including time since diagnosis, treatment intensity, and race/ethnicity.
methodsThis matched case-control study utilized data from Project Forward and the California Health Interview Survey. YACCS were matched to general population controls at a 1:3 ratio based on age, sex, year of survey, and race/ethnicity. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to compare life milestone achievement between the groups and to examine associations between survivor characteristics and life milestone achievement, adjusting for neighborhood socioeconomic status.
resultsThe study included 1106 YACCS and 3292 matched controls. YACCS were less likely to attain a college degree (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.66-0.95), be employed full-time (OR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.33-0.45), or be married/partnered (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.58-0.82). Conversely, they were more likely to be unemployed (OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.61-2.23), work part-time (OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.38-2.02), and live with a parent (OR = 3.34, 95% CI: 2.78-4.00). Long-term survivors (15+ years) and those who received more intensive treatments continue to encounter difficulties, particularly with achieving independent living and securing stable employment.
conclusionsYACCS experience significant delays in achieving key life milestones compared to their peers, highlighting the lasting socioeconomic impact of childhood cancer. Intensive treatments further exacerbate these disparities. Targeted interventions and survivorship support programs are needed to address these challenges and improve long-term outcomes.
