Racial and ethnic disparities in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality.

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
The occurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC) shows a large disparity among recognized races and ethnicities in the U.S., with Black Americans demonstrating the highest incidence and mortality from this disease. Contributors for the observed CRC disparity appear to be multifactorial and consequential that may be initiated by structured societal issues (e.g., low socioeconomic status and lack of adequate health insurance) that facilitate abnormal environmental factors (through use of tobacco and alcohol, and poor diet composition that modifies one's metabolism, microbiome and local immune microenvironment) and trigger cancer-specific immune and genetic changes (e.g., localized inflammation and somatic driver gene mutations). Mitigating the disparity by prevention through CRC screening has been demonstrated; this has not been adequately shown once CRC has developed. Acquiring additional knowledge into the science behind the observed disparity will inform approaches towards abating both the incidence and mortality of CRC between U.S. racial and ethnic groups.
