Risk factors associated with suicide among kidney cancer patients: A Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results analysis.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundThe suicide risk was higher in kidney cancer patients than in the general population. The purpose of this study was to characterize the suicide rates among kidney cancer patients and to identify the potential risk factors associated with suicide from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
methodsKidney cancer patients were identified from the SEER database during 1973-2015. Suicide rates and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) of this population were calculated, and the US general population during 1981-2015 was chosen as a reference. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression were performed to find out potential risk factors of suicide.
resultsThere were 207 suicides identified among 171 819 individuals with kidney cancer observed for 948 272 person-years. The suicide rate was 21.83 per 100 000 person-years, and SMR was 1.83 (95% CI: 1.59-2.10). On Cox regression, diagnosis in early years (1973-1982 vs 2003-2015, HR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.01-4.11, P = 0.048; 1983-1992 vs 2003-2015, HR: 1.99, 95% CI: 1.18-3.35, P = 0.010), male sex (vs female sex, HR: 4.43, 95% CI: 2.95-6.65, P < 0.001), unmarried status (vs married status, HR: 2.54, 95% CI: 1.91-3.38, P < 0.001), non-black race (white race vs black race, HR: 4.47, 95% CI: 2.09-9.58, P < 0.001; other races vs black race, HR: 3.01, 95% CI: 1.08-8.37, P = 0.035), higher histologic grade (grade IV vs grade I, HR: 3.27, 95% CI: 1.50-7.13, P = 0.003; grade III vs grade I, HR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.19-3.81, P = 0.011) and cancer-directed surgery not performed (vs performed, HR: 2.78, 95% CI: 1.52-5.11, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors of suicide among kidney cancer patients.
conclusionsDiagnosis in early years, male sex, unmarried status, non-black race, higher histologic grade, and cancer-directed surgery not performed were significantly associated with suicide among kidney cancer patients. In order to prevent suicidal death, clinicians should pay more attention to patients with high-risk factors of suicide.
