1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeAround a third of people with cancer will die outside of their preferred place of death, with substantial variation occurring between and within countries in terms of place of death. Here, we examine place of death within the New Zealand cancer context, with specific focus on differences between Indigenous Māori and other ethnic groups.

methodsUsing national-level data, we identified all those who died in New Zealand between 2007 and 2018 of cancer (N = 107,373), stratified by ethnicity and cancer type, and linked these patients to national health and mortality records. We then described the crude and age-standardized proportions of cancer deaths by location separately by ethnic group, and conducted logistic regression to compare odds of death within a given location between ethnic groups.

resultsAfter adjusting for age, sex, and deprivation, we found that Māori people with cancer are more likely to die in a private residence than Europeans (46%

conclusionIt remains unclear whether these differences reflect differences in preferences for place of death between ethnic groups, or whether they reflect differences in access to appropriate supportive care. Further research is required to examine these differences in greater detail.
