Trends in Cancer Incidence Among American Indians and Alaska Natives and Non-Hispanic Whites in the United States, 1999-2015.

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
backgroundFemale breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers are the leading incident cancers among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) persons in the United States. To understand racial differences, we assessed incidence rates, analyzed trends, and examined geographic variation in incidence by Indian Health Service regions.
methodsTo assess differences in incidence, we used age-adjusted incidence rates to calculate rate ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Using joinpoint regression, we analyzed incidence trends over time for the four leading cancers from 1999 to 2015.
resultsFor all four cancers, overall and age-specific incidence rates were lower among AI/ANs than NHWs. By Indian Health Service regions, incidence rates for lung cancer were higher among AI/ANs than NHWs in Alaska (RR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.37, 1.56) and Northern (RR: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.25, 1.33) and Southern (RR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.09) Plains. Similarly, colorectal cancer incidence rates were higher in AI/ANs than NHWs in Alaska (RR: 2.29; 95% CI: 2.14, 2.45) and Northern (RR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.09) and Southern (RR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.07, 1.15) Plains. Also, AI/AN women in Alaska had a higher incidence rate for breast cancer than NHW women (RR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.20). From 1999 to 2015, incidence rates for all four cancers decreased in NHWs, but only rates for prostate (average annual percent change: -4.70) and colorectal (average annual percent change: -1.80) cancers decreased considerably in AI/ANs.
conclusionFindings from this study highlight the racial and regional differences in cancer incidence.
