Race-specific prostate cancer outcomes in a cohort of military health care beneficiaries undergoing surgery: 1990-2017.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThere is substantial variability in prostate cancer (PCa) mortality rates across Caucasian American (CA), African American (AA), Asian, and Hispanic men; however, these estimates are unable to disentangle race or ethnicity from confounding factors. The current study explores survival differences in long-term PCa outcomes between self-reported AA and CA men, and examines clinicopathologic features across self-reported CA, AA, Asian, and Hispanic men.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study utilized the Center for Prostate Disease Research (CPDR) Multi-center National Database from 1990 to 2017. Subjects were consented at military treatment facilities nationwide. AA, CA, Asian, or Hispanic men who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) for localized PCa within the first year of diagnosis were included in the analyses. Time from RP to biochemical recurrence (BCR), BCR to metastasis, and metastasis to overall death were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier unadjusted estimation curves and adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression.
resultsThis study included 7067 men, of whom 5155 (73%) were CA, 1468 (21%) were AA, 237 (3%) were Asian, and 207 (3%) were Hispanic. AA men had a significantly decreased time from RP to BCR compared to CA men (HR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.06-1.48, p = 0.01); however, no difference was observed between AA and CA men for a time from BCR to metastasis (HR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.39-1.33, p = 0.302) and time from metastasis to overall death (HR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.36-1.26, p = 0.213).
conclusionsIn an equal access health care setting, AA men had a shorter survival time from RP to BCR, but comparable survival time from BCR to metastasis and metastasis to overall death.
