Occupational inequalities in female cancer incidence in Japan: Hospital-based matched case-control study with occupational class.
Article in SSM - population health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
backgroundSocioeconomic inequalities in female cancer incidence have previously been undocumented in Japan.
methodsUsing a nationwide inpatient dataset (1984-2016) in Japan, we identified 143,806 female cancer cases and 703,157 controls matched for sex, age, admission date, and admitting hospital, and performed a hospital-based matched case-control study. Based on standardized national classification, we categorized patients' socioeconomic status (SES) by occupational class (blue-collar, service, professional, manager), cross-classified by industry sector (blue-collar, service, white-collar). Using blue-collar workers in blue-collar industries as the reference group, we estimated the odds ratio (OR) for each cancer incidence using conditional logistic regression with multiple imputation, adjusted for major modifiable risk factors (smoking, alcohol consumption).
resultsWe identified lower risks among higher-SES women for common and overall cancers: e.g., ORs for managers in blue-collar industries were 0.67 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46-0.98) for stomach cancer and 0.40 (95% CI, 0.19-0.86) for lung cancer. Higher risks with higher SES were evident for breast cancer: the OR for professionals in service industries was 1.60 (95% CI, 1.29-1.98). With some cancers, homemakers showed a similar trend to subjects with higher SES; however, the magnitude of the OR was weaker than those with higher SES.
conclusionsEven after controlling for major modifiable risk factors, socioeconomic inequalities were evident for female cancer incidence in Japan.
