The Financial Toxicity Experience of Patients with Colorectal Cancer During Chemotherapy: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore the experience of financial toxicity in patients with colorectal cancer during chemotherapy and to inform the development of targeted interventions.
methodsA descriptive qualitative research method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 15 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing chemotherapy who attended the Department of Medical Oncology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from March to June 2024, and the data were organized and analyzed using the Nvivo 11.0 qualitative data analysis software and the thematic analysis method.
resultsFour themes were extracted: patients with chemotherapy-stage colorectal cancer bear direct and indirect multifaceted economic pressures, are affected by multidimensional risk factors, which cause multiple adverse outcomes, and cope with financial toxicity in various ways.
conclusionsThe experience of financial toxicity in colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy is presented in a multidimensional format, with multiple causes influencing their financial toxicity. In the future, healthcare professionals should identify patients at high risk for financial toxicity, provide financial toxicity interventions and support, and mitigate their exposure to financial toxicity.
