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
purposeSubjective cognitive decline (SCD) is under-addressed in survivorship care despite associations with other adverse patient-reported outcomes and poor long-term cognitive health. Research on SCD and social determinants of health (SDOH) is limited among cancer survivors. This study examined associations of SCD, and its impacts, with cancer-related characteristics and SDOH among survivors.
methodsThe study analyzed cross-sectional data from survivors ages ≥ 45 years in the nationally representative 2023/2024 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Survey-weighted modified Poisson regression modeling with robust standard errors was employed. Exposures were cancer-related characteristics (cancer type, age at diagnosis, multiple cancer diagnoses) and SDOH (employment instability, food insecurity, low social connection, financial strain, limited transportation, number of SDOH). Outcomes were SCD and four SCD-related impacts (worrying, discussing with a healthcare provider, interference with day-to-day activities, interference with work/volunteer activities). Prevalence ratios (PRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are reported.
resultsAmong 11,713 survivors, the weighted prevalence of SCD was 19.6%. Being diagnosed before age 40 and with multiple cancers were associated with greater prevalence of SCD in bivariate analyses, however, no cancer-related characteristics were associated with SCD measures in multivariable analyses. Each SDOH measure except employment instability was associated with SCD (aPRs = 1.37 to 2.25; all p ≤ 0.0039), versus no SDOH. Compared to no SDOH, number of SDOH was associated with each SCD-related impact (aPRs = 1.35 to 3.36; all p ≤ 0.0007) except provider discussion.
conclusionsFindings highlight the role SDOH plays in influencing SCD among survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Greater attention to SCD may improve long-term outcomes among survivors.
