The association of low socioeconomic status with advanced stage thyroid cancer.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesThis study investigates the link between low socioeconomic status (SES) and advanced thyroid cancer at the time of detection. It also assesses the socioeconomic variables that may potentially affect the stage of thyroid cancer at presentation.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with thyroid cancer between January 2016 and April 2020. The data were collected using the patients' medical records from the hospital information system (BESTcare) and through interview-based surveys. To assess the factors predicting the stage of advanced thyroid cancer, socioeconomic status (SES) predictors like area of residency, educational level, income, and marital status were collected.
resultsA total of 220 patients with thyroid cancer were included in this study. Male patients (
conclusionThis study has shown that even in a country like KSA with a strong government-funded healthcare system, health disparity among people battling thyroid cancer exists. Our study has found that SES factors have a significant impact on the stage of thyroid cancer at the time of presentation, whereas the economic status of the patients had no impact on the stage of thyroid cancer. Furthermore, patients in lower SES groups were diagnosed with more advanced stages at presentation.
