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

purposeData on endometrial cancer outcomes among immigrant women in the USA are lacking. The objective was to determine the effect of Caribbean nativity on outcomes in black women with endometrial cancer compared with women born in the USA, with attention paid to the effects of tumor grade, sociodemographic factors, and treatment approaches.

methodsA review of the institutional cancer registry was performed to identify black, non-Hispanic women with known nativity and treated for endometrial cancer between 2001 and 2017. Sociodemographic, treatment, and outcomes data were collected. Analyses were done using the χ

results195 women were included in the analysis. High grade histologies were present in a large proportion of both US born (64.5%) and Caribbean born (72.2%) patients. Compared with US born women, those of Caribbean nativity were more likely to be non-smokers (P=0.01) and be uninsured (P=0.03). Caribbean born women had more cases of stage III disease (27.8% versus 12.5%, P<0.01), while carcinosarcoma was more common in US born black women (23.6% versus 10.6%, P=0.05). Caribbean nativity trended towards improvement in overall survival (hazard ratio (HR) 0.65 (0.40-1.07)). Radiation (HR 0.53 (0.29-1.00)) was associated with improved survival while advanced stage (HR 3.81 (2.20-6.57)) and high grade histology (HR 2.34 (1.17-4.72)) were predictive of worse survival.

conclusionsThe prevalence of high grade endometrial cancer histologies among black women of Caribbean nativity is higher than previously reported. Caribbean nativity may be associated with improved overall survival although additional study is warranted.
