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

Urinary bladder cancer (UBC) has a high incidence rates in many southern and eastern European countries, in parts of Africa and the Middle East, and in North America. It exhibits a wide variety of histological types that goes from less aggressive to rapid-growing ones. In order to compare the different presentations, etiologies, and prognoses among racial groups, including NHW (non-Hispanic white), HW (Hispanic white), blacks, and API (Asian and Pacific Islander), we analyzed the UBC patients diagnosed between 1973 and 2014 using SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database. Patient characteristics, age-adjusted incidence rates, and survival were compared across races. There are significant racial differences in patients' characteristics, including gender, marital status, age at diagnosis, treatment strategies, grade, stage, survival time, and so on. Overall, non-Hispanic whites have the highest incidence rate, followed by blacks, Hispanic whites, and APIs. In the analysis of survival, significant racial differences exist when stratified by gender, age group, histological type, stage, location and treatment strategies. Racial differences exist among UBC patients in the United States in terms of characteristics, incidence, and survival. Future studies may collect and analyze more data for comprehensive description and interpretation of the racial differences.
