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

Colorectal cancer, despite multiple screening measures being available, is the second leading cause of death due to cancer. Cancer stage at diagnosis is an important determinant of survival, where earlier stages have significantly increased rates of survival. By looking at various social health disparities (at a patient and geographic level) and their effect on stage at presentation, we will gain a better understanding of the effect they have on cancer outcomes. Data were collected from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for the years 2007-2014. Covariates extracted were patient-level variables such as age, race, primary site, state/county, insurance status as well as county-level data which included percent urban population, median family income, rural-urban continuum code classification, percent of population that has not completed high school, percent of population below the poverty line, percent of population foreign-born, percent of language-isolated persons, and unemployment rate. The primary outcome analyzed was cancer staging at diagnosis. A χ
