Trends in colorectal cancer mortality in hispanics: a SEER analysis.
Article in Oncotarget, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) mortality among Hispanics is lower than Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW). If Hispanics receive equitable care and achieve the same degree of health benefit, their trend of better survival should be maintained. This study assesses mortality trends among Hispanics overtime to compare their survival improvement with NHW.
methodsWe used the Incidence-Based Mortality database of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) to assess the mortality gap, which is defined as the difference in stage-specific mortality between NHWs and Hispanics, and currently has an advantage for Hispanics.
resultsThere is a statistically significant disparity in stage-specific mortality of CRC by race, with a higher proportion of deaths from metastatic disease among Hispanics than NHW (48% vs. 44% respectively). Comparing the time intervals of 2000-2005 and 2006-2011, mortality was reduced by 15.1% for NHWs and 5.9% for Hispanics, resulting in a narrowing of the mortality gap. The mortality gap between Hispanics and NHW is tapering overtime for every stage of the disease, reflecting that Hispanics have a disparity in CRC mortality.
conclusionThe mortality gap between Hispanics and NHWs is narrowing, supporting a significantly lower rate of mortality improvement in Hispanics. If the current trend continues, mortality rates in Hispanics will outpace that of NHWs.
