1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study aimed to examine the differences in cancer risk by regional deprivation in Bavaria, Germany.

methodsMultilevel Poisson regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between lung and colorectal cancer risk and community deprivation level based on data from the Cancer Registry of Bavaria (2003–2006). The communities (n=1,408) were classified according to the Bavarian Index of Multiple Deprivation (BIMD), differentiated into quintiles ranging from lowest to highest deprivation.

resultsIncreased lung cancer risk in men and colorectal cancer risk in both genders were associated with increasing BIMD. Comparing the most deprived with the least deprived communities, the relative risk for lung cancer incidence in men was 1.39 (95% CI 1.29–1.49), for mortality risk 1.54 (95% CI 1.41–1.68). The relative risk for colorectal cancer incidence in men was 1.30 (95% CI 1.22–1.38) and in women 1.19 (95% CI 1.11–1.27); for mortality risk we found 1.57 (95% CI 1.40–1.76) in men and 1.34 (95% CI 1.19–1.51) in women.

conclusionArea-based deprivation is significantly associated with cancer risk in Bavaria.
