Geographic disparities in late-stage breast cancer diagnosis in California.
Article in Health & place, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Using cancer registry data for the population of California women aged 67+ with breast cancers, we estimated random intercept logistic models to examine how two socio-ecological predictors (residential isolation and poverty) were associated with probability of late-stage diagnosis for breast cancer. Using the multilevel modeling results, we calculated fully adjusted predicted probabilities associated with women in each Medical Service Study Area (MSSA) in California and classified the areas into two distinct groups: MSSAs with predicted rates below the 25th percentile (presumably the better outcome areas) and MSSAs with predicted rates above the 75th percentile (presumably the worse outcome areas) for two minority groups. Some areas had better outcomes for one group but worse outcomes for the other, suggesting that interventions to improve outcomes need different strategies for different groups in the same areas. Using information from geographic risk factors and multilevel modeling, this study informs interventions designed to reduce disparities in breast cancer outcomes.
