Association between ethnicity and prostate cancer outcomes across hospital and surgeon volume groups.
Article in Health policy (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
objectiveWe analyzed the association between ethnicity and outcomes among prostate cancer patients across hospital and surgeon volume groups.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study using SEER-Medicare databases for the period between 1995 and 2003, prostate cancer cases were identified and retrospectively followed for one year pre- and up to eight years post-diagnosis. Based on volume, hospitals and surgeons were divided into three groups each. For each group, we fitted separate models to analyze the association between ethnicity and outcomes such as complications, eight-year mortality and cost, adjusting for covariates. Poisson (zero inflation), generalized linear model (log-link), and Cox regression models were used.
resultsAfrican American ethnicity was associated with 30-day complications among medium volume hospital group. African American patients receiving care at medium volume hospitals and from medium volume surgeons had higher costs. Hispanic patients receiving care at low and medium volume hospitals had lower cost compared to white patients. Hispanic patients receiving care from a high-volume surgeon experienced increased hazard of long-term mortality.
conclusionsAssociation between ethnicity and outcomes varies across hospital and surgeon volume groups. Thus, volume based policy measures may need further exploration for understanding the interaction between structure, process, volume and outcomes.
