Epidemiology and Survival of Kaposi's Sarcoma by Race in the United States: A Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Database Analysis.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has led to a significant decrease in the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in recent years. However, a concomitant increase in racial disparities in KS has arisen. Here, we analyze data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program for epidemiology and survival of Kaposi's sarcoma by race. The highest incidence was observed among Black patients (incidence rate (IR), 1.189; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.092-1.189), followed by White patients (IR, 0.486; 95% CI, 0.473-0.498). Relative survival at 1, 3, and 5 years differed significantly by race, with White patients having the highest survival rates (84.26%, 77.79%, and 74.79% at 1, 3, and 5 years respectively) and Black patients demonstrating the lowest (71.50%, 61.37%, and 57.38%), with intermediate survival rates in Asians/Pacific Islanders (AAPI) (80.62%, 71.19%, and 67.28%) and American Indians/Alaska Natives (AIAN) (80.56%, 61.45%, and 61.45%). We conclude that there are significant racial disparities in the incidence, epidemiology, and survival of KS.
