Occupational disparities in bladder cancer survival: A population-based cancer registry study in Japan.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundLittle is known about occupational disparities in bladder cancer survival.
methodsUsing data from a population-based cancer registry (1970-2016), we identified 3593 patients with incident bladder cancer diagnosed during 1970-2011 who completed occupational information. The patients were followed for 5 years (median follow-up time 5.0 years). Their longest-held occupations at incident bladder cancer diagnosis were classified according to a national standardized classification. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for overall death were estimated by Cox proportional hazard model, adjusted for age, sex, and year of diagnosis. Clerical workers served as the reference group.
resultsOverall prognosis was fair in this population (5-year overall survival, 61.9%). Compared with patients in clerical jobs, survival was poorer for those in professional and managerial jobs (mortality HR 1.36; 95% CI 1.09-1.69), sales and service jobs (HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.01-1.56), construction jobs (HR 1.83, 95% CI 1.40-2.38), and manufacturing jobs (HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.05-1.66), as well as those not actively employed (HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.02-1.58). A similar pattern was observed in the subgroup analyses restricted to male patients as well as additional analyses adjusted for potential prognostic variables (eg, stage) with multiple imputation.
conclusionWe documented occupational disparities in bladder cancer survival in Japan. However, the pattern of disparity did not favor highest occupational groups.
