Disparities in Cancer-Specific Survival Between Māori and Non-Māori New Zealanders, 2007-2016.
Article in JCO global oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeWhile cancer survival is improving across most developed nations, those improvements are not shared equally within their population. Using high-quality national data, we have reviewed the extent to which cancer survival inequities are persisting for indigenous Māori compared with non-Māori New Zealanders and the extent to which these disparities are driven by deprivation, comorbidity, and stage of disease.
methodsIncident cases of cancer (2007-2016) were extracted from the New Zealand Cancer Registry and linked to mortality and hospitalization data. Descriptive, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox regression methods were used to compare survival outcomes between Māori and non-Māori.
resultsMāori continue to have poorer survival than non-Māori for 23 of the 24 most common causes of Māori cancer death, with the extent of this disparity ranging from 12% to 156%. The magnitude of these disparities varies according to deprivation, comorbidity, and stage. Of note, there was a tendency for survival disparities to be largest among those with no comorbidity.
conclusionMāori continue to experience substantial cancer survival inequities. These observations are in keeping with reports from previous decades, which suggest that these disparities persist despite heightened attention. Reduction of the cancer burden on Māori and achievement of equitable survival outcomes require us to prevent cancer for Māori where we can, diagnose Māori patients early when we cannot, and once diagnosed, deliver equitable care to Māori patients at each step along the treatment path.
