Income after cancer across gender and age among Canadian adolescents and young adults.
Article in Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 2026. 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
backgroundCancer in adolescents and young adults emerges during critical transitional phases, resulting in lasting effects on financial well-being. It remains uncertain whether cancer in adolescents and young adults exhibits differences in financial impact on income based on gender and diagnosis age over time.
methodsWe linked Canada's national cancer registry to personal tax records to identify adolescents and young adults (aged 15-39 years) diagnosed between 1994 and 2013. In the year before diagnosis, survivors were variable-ratio matched to 10 cancer-free individuals on several sociodemographic characteristics. Participants were followed longitudinally up to 10-years postdiagnosis or until 2015. Relative and absolute income changes were estimated using doubly robust difference-in-differences. We categorized age into 3 groups: adolescents (aged 15-17 years), emerging young adults (aged 18-29 years), and young adults (aged 30-39 years), reflecting the different adolescent and young adult life stages. Analyses were stratified by gender and diagnosis age.
resultsThere were 60 240 women and 33 085 men survivors matched to 490 645 and 274 595 cancer-free participants, respectively. Overall, men and women had 6.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.1% to 8.6%) and 4.5% (95% CI = 3.1% to 5.8%) income reductions, respectively. Adolescent men had the largest reduction of 23.7% (95% CI = 1.9% to 40.6%), while a lack of statistical significance was observed in women of the same age. Income was reduced for varying magnitudes and durations across the different intersections of gender and diagnosis age, with men experiencing longer periods of income reductions.
conclusionsCancer impacts income generation differently for adolescent and young adult men and women and at various diagnosis ages over time. Men, particularly younger men, are most vulnerable to income reductions.
