Health-Related Quality of Life in Adolescents and Young Adults With an Uncertain or Poor Cancer Prognosis: Quantitative Baseline Results of the CORD-AYA Study.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThree subgroups of adolescent and young adult patients (AYAs; 18-39 at diagnosis) with an uncertain or poor cancer prognosis (UPCP-those diagnosed with advanced disease, who will likely die prematurely) were previously identified: those receiving traditional treatments (chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy), newer treatments (immunotherapy or targeted therapy), and patients with glioma. This study examines differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among these subgroups, and comparisons between AYAs with a UPCP, recently diagnosed AYAs, and a healthy control group.
methodsData were collected from two AYA cohorts: CORD-AYA (n = 155), including AYAs with a UPCP any moment post-diagnosis, and COMPRAYA (n = 549), including AYAs within 6 months after diagnosis. A healthy control group, matched by age and sex, was also included (n = 430). All completed the EORTC QLQ-C30.
resultsNo significant HRQoL differences emerged between the traditional versus new treatment group. However, patients with glioma reported significantly lower cognitive functioning compared to patients on newer therapies. AYAs with a UPCP scored lower across all HRQoL scales than the control group. Despite being further along in their disease trajectory, UPCP patients reported HRQoL levels comparable to newly diagnosed patients. AYAs with a UPCP experienced higher financial burden but reported better global quality of life than COMPRAYA patients.
conclusionsNo significant differences in HRQoL were found between treatment groups, but patients with glioma should be considered a distinct subgroup as they have shown reduced cognitive functioning, necessitating specialized care. Individualized care is crucial, as a lack of personalized support may lead to long-term functional impairment, especially among UPCP patients.
