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

introductionLung cancer incidence is higher among non-Hispanic (NH) blacks than among the NH white and Hispanic populations in the United States. However, national cancer estimates may not always reflect the cancer burden in terms of disparities and incidence in small geographic areas, especially urban-rural disparities. Moreover, there is a gap in the literature regarding rural-urban disparities in terms of cancer histologic type.

methodsUsing population-based cancer registry data-Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results and National Program of Cancer Registries data-we present age-adjusted histologic rates and trends by race/ethnicity and residential county location at the time of first cancer diagnosis. Rate ratios were calculated to examine racial/ethnic differences in rates. Annual percent change was calculated to measure changes in rates over time.

resultsWe found that declines in squamous cell carcinoma are occurring fastest in metropolitan counties, whereas rates of adenocarcinoma increased fastest in counties nonadjacent to metropolitan areas. Further, although NH black men have increased lung cancer incidence compared with NH white and Hispanic men in all geographic locations, we found that the degree of the disparity increases with increasing rurality of residence. Finally, we discovered that among women whose lung cancer was diagnosed when they were younger than 55 years, the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma was higher for NH blacks than for NH whites.

conclusionsOur results highlight disparities among NH blacks in nonadjacent rural areas. These findings may have significant impact for the implementation of smoking cessation and lung cancer screening programs.
