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

objectiveTo determine the impact of recent relocation prior to a cancer diagnosis on cancer-specific outcomes.

methodsWe identified 272,718 patients with two different entries in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database within 3years of each other. Those who had relocated to a different county between entries were identified and we determined the risk of stage IV disease or cancer-specific mortality among relocators and non-relocators after adjusting for other patient-specific demographic and clinical factors.

resultsA total of 4639 (1.7%) patients relocated to a new county within 3years prior to a second cancer diagnosis and 268,079 (98.3%) patients did not. Patients who had relocated to a new area were more likely to be diagnosed with stage IV cancer (25.2% vs. 20.8%; adjusted odds ratio=1.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18-1.37; P<0.001), and had an increased risk of 10-year cancer-specific mortality (20.9% vs. 17.9%; adjusted hazard ratio 1.26; 95% CI, 1.17-1.36; P<0.001).

conclusionThese results suggest that recent relocation to a new county prior to a cancer diagnosis is associated with an increased risk of late-stage presentation and worse cancer-specific mortality.
