The Impact of Insurance and Marital Status on Survival in Patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
Article in Biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the influence of social support on the survival outcomes of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We examined whether the combined proxy influenced whether patients were more likely to receive radiotherapy. METHODOLOGY: data were collected from the 18 registries of the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The association between both insurance status and marital status and disease-specific survival rates were evaluated with a multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model to calculate the hazard ratios and associated confidence intervals. Odds ratio (OR) computed by logistic regression was also used to examine the relationship between the receipt of radiotherapy and insurance and marital status.
resultsinsured and uninsured patients differed significantly in T-stage, N-stage, M-stage, radiotherapy use, race, and marital status. The uninsured-non-married patients showed the lowest 5-year disease-specific survival rates. We further found unmarried patients with either Medicaid (OR, 0.40), or no insurance (OR, 0.24) had lower odds of receiving radiotherapy than those with insurance at diagnosis.
conclusionsuninsured-unmarried NPC patients had a significantly higher risk of distant metastasis at diagnosis, poorer 5-year disease-specific survival, and were less likely to receive radiotherapy than insured-married patients.
