Sociodemographic Disparities and Reasons for Delayed Healthcare Among U.S. Cancer Survivors: An All of Us Study.
Article in Research square, 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
Objective: To examine how sociodemographic factors influence healthcare access among cancer survivors. Methods: From the National Institutes of Health's All of Us dataset (2018-2022, n = 27,589), we analyzed the relationship between characteristics like age, income, race/ethnicity, and insurance, and reasons for delayed healthcare, including affordability, transportation, and nervousness. Results: The top reasons for delayed care were affordability issues (12%), nervousness (8%), and transportation barriers (6%). Younger survivors (ages 18-39), those on Medicaid, and individuals earning less than $25,000 annually consistently experienced higher rates of delayed care. Female survivors were more likely to delay care for all reasons except transportation. Work and caregiving-related delays were more common among minoritized racial/ethnic groups, while non-Hispanic White survivors more often delayed care due to nervousness and socioeconomic factors. Conclusions: Considerable differences in delayed healthcare were observed among cancer survivors by sociodemographic characteristics, with evidence for intersectionality for several observed associations. Findings highlight the need for personalized patient navigation strategies to effectively address the unique social needs of each cancer survivor, ultimately improving healthcare access for all.
