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

objectiveSurvival differences in oral cancer between black and white patients have been reported, but the contributing factors, especially the role of stage, are incompletely understood. Furthermore, the outcomes for Hispanic and Asian patients have been scarcely examined. STUDY

designRetrospective, population-based national study.

settingSurveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 18 Custom database (January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2014). SUBJECTS AND

methodsIn total, 7630 patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity were classified as non-Hispanic white (white), non-Hispanic black (black), Hispanic, or Asian. Cox regression was used to obtain unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of 5-year mortality for race/ethnicity with sequential adjustments for stage and other covariates. Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between race/ethnicity and stage with adjusted odds ratios (aORs).

resultsThe cohort consisted of 75.0% whites, 7.6% blacks, 9.1% Hispanics, and 8.3% Asians. Compared to whites, the unadjusted HR for all-cause mortality for blacks was 1.68 (

conclusionThe greater mortality for blacks vs whites was largely attributable to the higher prevalence of later stages at presentation and being uninsured among blacks. There was no statistically significant difference in mortality for Hispanics vs whites or Asians vs whites.
