Evaluating the impact of virtual oncology financial and legal navigation on cancer-related financial toxicity.
Article in JNCI cancer spectrum, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07409662 (Coverage and Cost of Care Links- Telehealth), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the impact of a virtual oncology financial and legal navigation (OFLN) intervention on cancer-related financial toxicity (FT) and health-related quality of life (QOL) in pediatric and adolescent and young adult (PAYA) cancer patients and caregivers, as well as to assess the intervention's acceptability and feasibility.
methodsA single-arm trial was conducted in a PAYA oncology clinic between March 2024 and May 2025. Pre- and post-intervention surveys included the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System global health, anxiety and depression scales, National Comprehensive Cancer Network's Distress Thermometer, and intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of measures.
resultsThe majority (36 patients and 88 caregivers) identified as female (73%), non-Hispanic White (85%), rural residents (61%), with incomes above the federal poverty level (71%). Participants reported moderate levels of FT at baseline with a mean COST of 20.9 (SD = 11.14) for patients and 19.3 (SD = 10.12) for caregivers and high levels of anxiety, depression, and distress. Among caregivers, there was a significant (P = .01) post-intervention increase in COST (indicating decreased FT). Almost all patients reported decreases in subjective stress and anxiety (94%) and feeling better prepared to navigate financial/legal issues. Participants rated the intervention highly across implementation outcomes of acceptability (76%), appropriateness (76%), and feasibility (75%), which was also supported by 89% enrollment and 95% retention rates.
conclusionFindings demonstrate that virtual OFLN has the potential to increase access to supportive care services, especially in rural communities. Additional research supporting scalability and uptake for widespread implementation is needed. ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07409662.
