The intersection of travel burdens and financial hardship in cancer care: a scoping review.
Article in JNCI cancer spectrum, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04931251 (Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Toxicity in Rural North Carolina Oncology Care Settings), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
backgroundIn addition to greater delays in cancer screening and greater financial hardship, rural-dwelling cancer patients experience greater costs associated with accessing cancer care, including higher cumulative travel costs. This study aimed to identify and synthesize peer-reviewed research on the cumulative and overlapping costs associated with care access and utilization.
methodsA scoping review was conducted to identify relevant studies published after 1995 by searching 5 electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsycInfo, and Healthcare Administration. Eligibility was determined using the PEO (Population, Exposure, and Outcomes) method, with clearly defined populations (cancer patients), exposures (financial hardship, toxicity, or distress; travel-related burdens), and outcomes (treatment access, treatment outcomes, health-related quality of life, and survival/mortality). Study characteristics, methods, and findings were extracted and summarized.
resultsDatabase searches yielded 6439 results, of which 3366 were unique citations. Of those, 141 were eligible for full-text review, and 98 studies at the intersection of cancer-related travel burdens and financial hardship were included. Five themes emerged as we extracted from the full texts of the included articles: 1) Cancer treatment choices, 2) Receipt of guideline-concordant care, 3) Cancer treatment outcomes, 4) Health-related quality of life, and 5) Propensity to participate in clinical trials.
conclusionsThis scoping review identifies and summarizes available research at the intersection of cancer care-related travel burdens and financial hardship. This review will inform the development of future interventions aimed at reducing the negative effects of cancer-care related costs on patient outcomes and quality of life.
