Racial/ethnic disparities and incidence of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors: results from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program, 2000-2014.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundMalignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare tumors, generally high-grade, and comprise ~ 5-10% of soft tissue sarcomas. Over two-thirds of MPNSTs metastasize, and upwards of 40% clinically recur. Etiologic risk factors for MPNSTs are historically understudied. There is evidence to suggest MPNST incidence differs across racial/ethnic groups in pediatric populations. Therefore, we sought to estimate differences in MPNST incidence by race/ethnicity among all ages in the United States.
methodsIncidence data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER-18) Program, 2000-2014. Race/ethnicity was categorized as: White; Black; Asian; Other; and Latino/a ("Spanish-Hispanic-Latino"). Latino/a included all races, while all other categories excluded those identified as Latino/a. Age-adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were generated in SEER-STAT (v8.3.4). We estimated incidence rates among all ages, and among those diagnosed < 25 and ≥ 25 years.
resultsMPNST cases were abstracted from SEER-18 (n = 1047). Among all age groups, Blacks experienced an elevated incidence of MPNSTs compared to Whites (IRR
conclusionsIncidence rates of MPNSTs were highest in Blacks compared to Whites and other minority groups. This study suggests specific patterns exist in terms of race/ethnicity and age at diagnosis of MPNSTs.
