Age-dependent associations of psychological and family factors on systemic inflammation in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and 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
purposeSurvivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) face long-term health challenges partially explained by treatment-related and cancer-related systemic inflammation. Beyond these effects, biobehavioral frameworks for understanding morbidity among survivors posit that other modifiable factors (e.g., emotional distress) influence systemic inflammation. These frameworks have not been explored within pediatric populations and do not consider potential caregiver impact. This study aimed to examine associations of caregiver factors and biobehavioral domains with systemic inflammation in survivors of pediatric ALL.
methodsSurvivors of ALL (n = 48), > 5 years from diagnosis, provided blood samples to assess C-reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker of inflammation. Caregivers completed measures of caregiver strain, caregiver distress, and survivor internalizing symptoms. Multivariable models examined associations between survivor internalizing symptoms, caregiver strain, and caregiver emotional distress on CRP. Interaction effects between predictor variables and age were tested in each model. Post hoc analyses assessed the relationships at the 16th (pre-adolescent), 50th (adolescent), and 84th (older adolescent) percentiles for participant age.
resultsInternalizing symptoms (β = .10, p = 0.01) and caregiver emotional distress (β = .08, p = 0.06) were associated with CRP levels in older adolescent survivors. Caregiver strain was associated with CRP levels among younger (β = .06, p = 0.01) and older adolescent survivors (β = .12, p = .002).
conclusionsThese findings suggest that developmental stage may moderate the impact of emotional and environmental stressors on systemic inflammation. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: These findings demonstrate the importance of follow-up care for caregivers and survivors during survivorship to support better physical and mental health outcomes.
