"Showing some care": interest-holders' perspectives on addressing health-related social conditions in ovarian cancer.
Article in The oncologist, 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
backgroundHealth-related social conditions (HRSCs) are modifiable factors affecting ovarian cancer outcomes. How best to manage HRSCs as part of ovarian cancer care remains unclear. We sought interest-holder perspectives on HRSC assessment and assistance to inform integration of social care with gynecologic oncology practice.
methodsIn this qualitative descriptive study, we conducted individual, semi-structured interviews with patients with ovarian cancer, their caregivers, and oncology clinicians from an academic medical center. We solicited thoughts on HRSC assessment and assistance, including whether and how HRSC discussions should occur, as well as opinions on a 20-item HRSC assessment and a community resource referral document. We analyzed data using the Rigorous and Accelerated Data Reduction (RADaR) technique.
resultsParticipants (n = 14) included 5 patients with ovarian cancer, 4 caregivers, and 5 clinicians. Patients and caregivers were open to HRSC conversations with clinicians from various disciplines if undertaken with empathy, respect, and active listening. In addition to common HRSCs like food insecurity and housing instability, participants endorsed attending to religion/spirituality and assessing for financial hardship, interpersonal violence, psychological support, and neighborhood safety. Patients and clinicians characterized the HRSC screening questions as straightforward and in-depth. All participants felt the community resource referral document was well-organized and helpful.
conclusionEven in the context of a life-threatening disease, participants affected by and caring for patients with ovarian cancer regard social conditions as relevant to cancer care. Our findings inform practical considerations of who, what, when, where, why, and how HRSC assessment and assistance can be undertaken in oncology.
