Characterizing Social Determinants of Health in GI Cancer Surgery: Insights From the All of Us Research Program.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 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
introductionSocial Determinants of Health (SDoH) are increasingly recognized as critical contributors to cancer outcomes. Understanding SDoH among patients undergoing cancer surgery may reveal disparities that influence care and recovery. This study assessed the prevalence and variation of SDoH among patients undergoing gastrointestinal (GI) cancer surgery using a national dataset.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis using the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Program. Adults with GI cancer were identified using diagnosis codes, and surgery was confirmed using procedure codes. Participants who completed the SDoH survey were included. Descriptive statistics summarize demographics and SDoH domains: economic stability, healthcare access, neighborhood environment, and social context.
resultsOf 6620 participants with GI cancer, 1747 underwent surgery; 470 (26.9%) completed the SDoH survey. Mean age was 69.4 years; 82.1% were White and 61.3% had college degrees. Most had health insurance (96.6%) and stable housing (88.7%), though 25.5% reported poor housing quality and 7.6% reported food insecurity. PROMIS T-scores for physical and mental health were below average at 37.0 and 38.4, respectively.
conclusionDespite favorable SDoH profiles, GI cancer surgery patients reported below average physical and mental health. These findings highlight the need to integrate multidomain SDoH data in cancer care research.
