Neighborhood Deprivation and Suicide Among Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Patients.
Article in Cancer medicine, 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
backgroundIn 2024, approximately 84,100 adolescents and young adults (AYAs) between 15 and 39 years old received a cancer diagnosis.
aimsGiven their unique psychosocial, economic, and clinical stressors, we examined whether AYA cancer patients living in deprived neighborhoods have a higher risk of suicide when compared to those in the least deprived neighborhoods. MATERIALS &
methodsOur sample comprised 486,374 AYA cancer patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) dataset between 2006 and 2020. We use Cox proportional hazard models to test the relation between quintiles of neighborhood deprivation, from Q1 (most deprived) to Q5 (least deprived), and survival months until suicide mortality from the time of cancer diagnosis.
resultsWe find that AYA cancer patients living in more deprived neighborhoods (Q1, Q2, Q4) have a higher risk of suicide when compared to those in the least deprived neighborhoods (Q5) (Q1: HR-1.82 [1.14-2.90]; Q2: HR-1.95 [1.35-2.81]; Q4: HR-1.48 [1.05-2.07]). DISCUSSION: Mental health services and monitoring from treatment through survivorship may support suicide prevention efforts for young cancer patients.
conclusionEarly identification of high-risk AYA cancer patients living in deprived areas may help target suicide prevention interventions.
