Crowdsourcing Cancer Survivors' Perspectives on the Use of Artificial Intelligence and Automation in Financial Hardship Interventions.
Article in JCO oncology practice, 2026. 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
purposeThe use of artificial intelligence (AI) or automation in financial hardship (FH) interventions has the potential to increase reach and address implementation challenges. However, cancer survivor perceptions of how AI or automation could be used in FH interventions are understudied.
methodsEligibility for an online crowdsourcing study included being ≥18 years of age, a cancer survivor, and living in the United States. The survey asked open-ended crowdsourcing questions about how survivors thought AI/automation could have improved their experience with financial assistance and health insurance. A qualitative content analysis was conducted that consisted of two cycles of coding including the use of ChatGPT-5 to generate the preliminary codebook.
resultsA total of N = 198 cancer survivors participated and were on average age 50.3 years (standard deviation [SD], 14.3) and age 40.1 years at diagnosis (SD, 16.2), most commonly non-Hispanic/Latine (89.9%), White (86.9%), cisgender women (69.2%), and heterosexual (70.2%). Qualitative analysis revealed seven subcategories within the financial assistance category: (1) efficient search and personalized resource matching, (2) application support and process navigation, (3) insurance and billing support, (4) conversational and interactive tools, (5) connecting to human support, (6) emotional support, and (7) concerns and lack of applicability. Furthermore, five subcategories were identified within the health insurance support category: (1) health insurance education tools and decision support, (2) health insurance navigation, (3) system simplification or automation, (4) connecting to resources and human support, and (5) concerns and lack of applicability.
conclusionOverall, cancer survivors generated a variety of ideas focused on reducing the administrative burden of seeking out financial assistance and dealing with health insurance. Findings demonstrate that cancer survivors could imagine AI or automation being used in FH interventions.
