Post-diagnosis unemployment and access to work-related health benefits in survivors of brain cancer compared to other cancers.

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
purposeBrain cancer diagnoses often disrupt patient function, well-being, and financial stability, but population-level economic outcomes remain underexplored. Our aim was to determine if survivors of brain cancer face greater odds of post-diagnosis unemployment and lower odds of working full-time, benefit-providing jobs following diagnosis compared to survivors of other cancers.
methodsWe analyzed pooled 2019-2023 National Health Interview Survey data of adults who reported a cancer diagnosis ≥ 1 year prior to survey completion. Weighted logistic regressions evaluated the association between cancer type and post-diagnosis unemployment and work-related health benefits, adjusting for age, disability (physical, sensory, and cognitive), and social drivers of health.
resultsThe cohort represented 22.9 million US adult survivors of cancer, including 198,961 with brain cancer. People with a diagnosis of brain cancer faced higher odds of post-diagnosis unemployment compared to other cancer types, adjusting for age, disability, and social drivers of health (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.12, 5.77). In addition, employed survivors of brain cancer were less likely to work full-time (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.09, 0.74) or have jobs offering health insurance (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.15, 0.96) or paid sick leave (OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.17, 0.96).
conclusionThese findings reveal markedly higher socioeconomic vulnerability for survivors of brain cancer compared to those with other cancer types.
