Socioeconomic position and employment status in patients with lung cancer - a register-based study.
Article in Acta oncologica (Stockholm, Sweden), 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
background and purposeLung cancer patients have an increased risk of adverse employment outcomes. However, limited research exists on the association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and employment status in this cancer group. This study explored the influence of SEP on employment status after a lung cancer diagnosis. Patient/material and methods: This population-based cohort study included all working-age Danish residents diagnosed with lung cancer between 2000 and 2015. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between socioeconomic variables (education, income, sick leave, and work status before diagnosis), and working and disability pension 3 years after diagnosis.
resultsA total of 1,946 lung cancer patients were included. High income and long education were associated with higher odds of working, odds ratio (OR) = 2.31 (1.65-3.24) and OR = 1.92 (1.15-3.21), respectively, and lower odds of disability pension, OR = 0.19 (0.11-0.33) and OR = 0.30 (0.13-0.70), respectively. Moreover, sick leave and being out of work before diagnosis were associated with lower odds of working, OR = 0.25 (0.13-0.46) and OR = 0.32 (0.24-0.43), respectively, and higher odds of disability pension, OR = 3.73 (2.14-6.50) and OR = 2.88 (2.14-3.87), respectively.
interpretationLung cancer patients with low SEP are less likely to be employed and more likely to receive disability benefits. Therefore, rehabilitation to support socioeconomically disadvantaged lung cancer patients is needed.
