Contemporary Area-Level Mortgage Loan Denial Risk and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Cancer Survivors.
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
backgroundHistorical and contemporary mortgage lending practices have been associated with worse cancer outcomes. We estimated the association between mortgage loan denial risk and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among survivors at a large tertiary medical center in North Carolina (NC).
methodsMortgage denial risk, calculated using Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data (2010-2014), was linked by census tract to UNC Cancer Survivorship Cohort survivors who resided within NC metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). HRQoL was measured using the validated Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G). Differences in well-being across seven MSAs were assessed using Pearson chi-square tests and modified Poisson regression models adjusted for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
resultsOver 40% of survivors reported low overall well-being, while more than one-third of survivors reported low physical, social, emotional, or functional well-being. FACT-G scores were 6.2 (95% CI: 1.5, 10.9) points lower among Greensboro survivors; 4.1 (95% CI: 0.1, 8.1) points lower among Fayetteville MSA survivors; and 9.6 (95% CI: 2.5, 16.8) points lower among Charlotte survivors at a higher risk for mortgage loan denial compared to those at lower risk. Racial differences in FACT-G scores were only observed among Greensboro and Charlotte MSA survivors, whereas sex differences were limited to Charlotte survivors.
conclusionsMortgage loan denial was associated with worse overall HRQoL in Greensboro, Fayetteville, and Charlotte, but not in other NC MSAs. Further investigation into the role of place in other NC MSAs is needed to identify opportunities to support survivors across the cancer control continuum.
