Article Abstract
When comparing the efficacy or harmfulness of two groups (e.g., drugs, devices, assays, interventions, environmental toxins), it is important to minimize bias by making this comparison with respect to a common referent-control group, assuming random allocation. Under such a scenario, one can estimate risk reduction for a new therapy on a log-difference, relative effect scale. The current manuscript reviews the large-sample framework for this conditionally independent comparison and demonstrates how to estimate test power for a given sample size.

Background: Disparities in cancer burden between transgender and cisgender individuals remain an underexplored area of research.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the cumulative incidence and associated risk factors for cancer and precancerous conditions among transgender individuals compared with matched cisgender individuals.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using patient-level electronic health record (EHR) data from the University of Florida Health Integrated Data Repository between 2012 and 2023.
Impact of Commercial Food Environments on Local Type 2 Diabetes Burden: Cross-Sectional and Ecological Multimodeling Study.

Background: Neighborhoods resulting from rapid urbanization processes are often saturated with eateries for local communities, potentially increasing exposure to unhealthy foods and creating diabetogenic residential habitats.
Objective: We examined the association between proximity of commercial food outlets to local neighborhood residences and type 2 diabetes (T2D) cases to explore how local T2D rates vary by location and provide policy-driven metrics to monitor food outlet density as a potential control for high local T2D rates.
Methods: This cross-sectional ecological study included 11,354 patients with active T2D aged ≥20 years geocoded using approximate neighborhood residence aggregated to area-level rates and counts by subdistricts (mukims) in Penang, northern Malaysia.
Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Outcomes of a Mobile Adaptation of a Relational Savoring Intervention to Prevent Loneliness in College Students: Mixed Methods Pilot Study.

Background: Rates of loneliness have risen sharply since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, largely due to disruptions in social relationships and daily routines, with college students experiencing some of the greatest increases. While prevention programs targeting loneliness have been developed, their success has been limited. One promising approach may lie in enhancing the quality of existing relationships rather than simply increasing social interactions during periods of acute loneliness.

Purpose: Lymphocytes play critical roles in cancer immunity and tumor surveillance. Radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) is a common side effect observed in patients with cancer undergoing chemoradiation therapy (CRT), leading to impaired immunity and worse clinical outcomes. Although proton beam therapy (PBT) has been suggested to reduce RIL risk compared with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), this study used Bayesian counterfactual machine learning to identify distinct patient profiles and inform personalized radiation modality choice.

Department of Clinical Nursing Teaching and Research Section, School of Nursing, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.
Background And Aims: While perceived stress and coping strategies have been established as significant determinants of quality of life (QoL) in patients with solid malignancies, their impact on hematological malignancy population have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to examine how perceived stress and medical coping strategies interact with sociodemographic factors to influence QoL in patients with hematologic malignancies.
Methods: The study, involving 185 hematologic cancer patients in China, was conducted between August 2024 and December 2024.
