Relationships between financial distress and anxiety and depression in cancer survivors.

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
purposeMany cancer survivors experience financial distress. This distress can be associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms in cancer survivors. The aim of the study was to examine how much unique variance in anxiety and depressive symptoms is accounted for by financial distress using a measure developed specifically for financial distress using item response theory.
methodsParticipants were recruited either through a cancer survivorship program or through the Prolific survey panel. Measures included patient reports of demographic and clinical variables. Financial related anxiety/worry and depression were assessed. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) were used for general measures of anxiety and depression, respectively. Separate hierarchical regressions were performed with the GAD-7 and PHQ-8 as outcome variables.
resultsA total of N = 459 cancer survivors completed the survey. The sample average age was 51.5 years (SD = 15.0), 67.5% female, 85.6% White, 7.4% Hispanic, and 6.5% Asian race. The most common cancer diagnosis was breast (27.9%). Age, income, education, and financial anxiety were associated with anxiety, and the overall model accounted for 31% of the variance. For depression, only female sex and financial depression were significantly associated and accounted for 46% of the variance.
conclusionFinancial distress in combination with demographic and clinical variables operated differently in models of anxiety and depression in cancer survivors. More demographic variables were associated with anxiety symptoms than with depressive symptoms. Interventions such as financial navigation could reduce overall distress.
