Racial differences in 5-year relative survival rates of cervical cancer by stage at diagnosis, between African American (black) and white women, living in the state of Alabama, USA.
Article in BMC cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundOur objective was to assess racial differences in the 5-year relative survival rates (RSRs) of Cervical Cancer (CerCancer) by stage at diagnosis, between Black and White women, living in Alabama, USA.
methodsData for 3484 Blacks and 21,059 Whites diagnosed with CerCancer were extracted from the 2004 to 2013 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. We incorporated age groups, CerCancer stages, county, and year of diagnosis to compare the RSR between Blacks and Whites, using SEER*Stat software.
resultsIn urban, Black Belt (BB) and other rural counties, Whites diagnosed with localized stage of CerCancer always had better chances of survival because their RSRs were always more than 77%, compared to Blacks. Only exception was in Blacks living in other rural counties, who had a significantly higher RSR of 83.8% (95% Cl, 74.2-90.1). Which was the same as in Whites (83.8% (95% CI 74.5-89.9) living in BBC. Although, in other rural counties, Whites had a slightly lower RSR of 83.7% (95% CI 79.9-86.8%), their RSR was better compared to Blacks and Whites living in BB and other rural counties who had slightly higher RSRs of 83.8%. This was due to statistical precision, which depended on their larger sample size and a lower variability therefore, more reliability resulting in a tighter confidence interval with a smaller margin of error. In all the three county groups, Whites 15-44 years old diagnosed with localized stage of CerCancer had a higher RSR of 93.6% (95% CI 91.4-95.2%) for those living in urban and BB counties, and 94.6% (95% CI 93.6-95.4) for those living in other rural counties. The only exception was in Blacks 65-74 years old living in other rural counties who had the highest RSR of 96.9% (95% Cl, 82.9-99.5). However, Whites were considered to have a better RSR. This was also due to the statistical precision as mentioned above.
conclusionThere were significant racial differences in the RSRs of CerCancer. Overall, Black women experienced the worst RSRs compared to their White counterparts.
