Socioeconomic Disparities in Gastric Cancer and Identification of a Single SES Variable for Predicting Risk.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionSocioeconomic status (SES) is a known risk factor for gastric cancer (GC). This study seeks to examine education, income, and occupation variables separately to identify the single variable that can be best used to assess SES risk for GC.
methodsData from a case-control survey study were used. Logistic regression models were created for education, income, and occupation adjusted for age, sex, and race. Models were compared using AIC, c-statistics, and pseudo-R square to determine the model that had the highest risk predictive ability.
resultsGC cases had lower education levels and more commonly held jobs in unskilled labor. Annual household income was lower in cases compared to controls. Age, gender, race, education, and occupation were associated with increased risk of GC. The education model adjusted for age, gender, and race found < high school (HS) education to have an OR of 3.18 (95% CI 1.09-9.25) for GC compared to > HS education. The occupation model demonstrated that employment in unskilled labor had OR of 4.32 (95% CI 1.05-17.76) for GC compared to professional occupation. Model fit was best for the education model (AIC: 113.583, lower AIC is better) compared to income (117.562) or occupation (117.032). Education contributed the most to model variability (% delta pseudo-R square (4.7%)) compared to occupation (4.0%) or income (3.8%).
conclusionEducation level was the single most reliable measure of GC risk among 3 SES variables and can be employed as an ideal single indicator of SES-related GC risk when multiple SES factors cannot be obtained.
