Descriptive epidemiology of gastric adenocarcinoma in the state of Texas by ethnicity: Hispanic versus White non-Hispanic.
Article in Gastric cancer : official journal of the International Gastric Cancer Association and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundWe aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological and demographic characteristics of gastric adenocarcinoma in Hispanics and compare these trends with those found in non-Hispanic Whites in Texas.
methodsRecords of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma found in the Texas Cancer Registry from 1995 to 2006 were reviewed. Four ethnic-geographic groups were formed: Hispanics residing in El Paso County (a county on the Texas-Mexico border), White non-Hispanics in El Paso County, Hispanics from the remaining counties of Texas combined, and White non-Hispanics from the remaining counties of Texas combined. Adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) for the outcome of late stage at diagnosis were calculated.
resultsOf 9949 patients, 561 patients were El Paso County residents, of whom 83% were Hispanics. Among the four ethnic-geographic groups, the age-adjusted incidence was the highest in Hispanics in El Paso County (15.5 cases/100000). Tumor pathobiology varied by ethnicity. White non-Hispanics were more likely than Hispanics to have a proximal tumor and less likely to have a poorly differentiated or undifferentiated tumor. In El Paso County, patients in each of the eight age groups under 75 years compared to patients aged ≥85 years were significantly more likely to be at late stage (adjusted PRs 1.44-1.71).
conclusionThe incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma is higher in Hispanics than in Whites in both El Paso County and the remaining portion of Texas. Hispanics have a higher grade of gastric adenocarcinoma. The prevalence of late stage at the time of diagnosis is higher in younger patients than in older patients.
