Comparisons between individual- and area-level measures of socioeconomic status among childhood cancer patients: A report from the Children's Oncology Group (COG).
Article in Cancer epidemiology, 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
Observational studies often utilize area-level socioeconomic status (aSES) data when individual-level (iSES) data are unavailable. However, correlations between iSES and aSES in pediatric cancer populations are not well-described. We explored correlations between aSES and iSES in childhood cancer cases co-enrolled on Children's Oncology Group registry and epidemiology protocols (n = 1379) in the United States. We created four composite measures of iSES using maternal questionnaire data for household poverty, educational attainment, occupation, and housing type for comparison with Yost and Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) socio-economic domain at the census tract (CT)- and ZIP code (ZIP)-level. CT- and ZIP- aSES were weakly to moderately correlated with iSES (ρ
