GoFundMe®: Crowdfunding Among Young Adult Patients With Cancer.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 adults (YAs) with cancer aged 18-39 years often experience financial stressors and search for alternative solutions, such as crowdfunding, to make ends meet. YAs experience financial stressors that may be more severe than those of middle-aged or older adult patients.
objectivesThis article explores how YAs use GoFundMe® to financially support themselves during cancer treatment.
methodsFor this retrospective descriptive mixed-methods study, 50 campaigns met inclusion criteria. The research team extracted data manually and by using Python. Team members conducted descriptive analyses and qualitative coding.
findingsGoFundMe recipients were mostly female, aged in their late 20s, and diagnosed with breast, brain, colorectal, or other cancer or leukemia. Campaign goals ranged from $2,488 to $1,243,900, and about half met or exceeded their goal (n = 23). Campaigns requested money to cover direct and indirect costs of treatment as well as daily expenses, experimental care, complementary and alternative medicine, scientifically unproven treatments, travel experiences for the patient/family to make memories, and end-of-life or funeral expenses.
