Factors associated with cancer-related pain among Utah cancer survivors.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo identify clinical and sociodemographic factors associated with cancer-related pain among Utah cancer survivors 2-5 years after diagnosis.
methodsParticipants include 2232 Utah cancer survivors diagnosed with invasive cancers at ages 18 + who responded to a probability-based sample survey administered by the Utah Cancer Registry from 2018 to 2023. Participants self-reported cancer-related pain status and methods of pain control. We calculated counts and percentages and used logistic regression to identify sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with cancer-related pain. All analyses were weighted to account for complex survey sample design and age-adjusted to the Utah cancer survivor population.
resultsTwenty-two percent of survivors reported currently experiencing physical pain caused by their cancer or cancer treatment. Of those reporting pain, 24% reported their pain was not under control, 40% indicated their pain was under control with medication, and 36% reported it was under control without medication. The most frequently used pain control methods were nonopioid analgesics (49%) and physical activity (37%). In multivariable models, younger survivors, those either underweight or obese, survivors of breast cancer, and those facing material financial hardships were more likely to report cancer-related pain.
conclusionTwenty-two percent of Utah cancer survivors experienced pain related to their cancer or cancer treatment. For some, this pain is well managed, but approximately a quarter have uncontrolled pain. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Cancer-related pain is not solely associated with clinical features, and the findings here can guide clinicians and researchers toward a better understanding of the needs of cancer survivors and tailor pain management treatments to this unique population.
