Cancer disparities related to poverty and rurality for 22 top cancers in Florida.

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
We aimed to examine poverty and rurality as potential predictors of cancer health disparities. This cross-sectional study used data from the Florida Cancer Data System on all cancer diagnoses in the years 2014-2018 to determine age-adjusted incidence and mortality (per 100,000 population) for the 22 most common cancer sites within rural and urban counties, and high poverty and low poverty communities. Rural/urban and high/low poverty related cancer disparities were tested for statistical significance using the Rate Ratio statistical test. Overall cancer incidence was significantly lower in rural areas than in urban, but significantly higher in high poverty communities. Rurality and poverty were both associated with disparity in cancer incidence risk for tobacco-related cancers. The overall mortality was 22% higher in high poverty areas compared to low poverty areas. Ten cancer sites had mortality disparity from 83% to 17% higher in high poverty areas. Only three cancer sites, all tobacco-related, had higher mortality in rural areas than urban areas, demonstrating the intersectional nature of inhaled and smokeless tobacco use in rural low-income communities. Cancer and mortality rates in rural and urban areas may be largely driven by poverty. The high disparities related to high poverty areas reflects poor access to preventative care and treatment. Low income communities, rural or urban, will require focused efforts to address challenges specific to each population.
