Racial Disparities in Surgical Outcomes Among Women with Endometrial Cancer.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeEndometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological cancer among women in the United States. Despite well-documented racial/ethnic disparities in EC incidence and mortality rates, limited data exist regarding disparities in hysterectomy surgical outcomes. We evaluated associations of race/ethnicity with postoperative complications, serious adverse events (SAEs), and length of hospital stay among women undergoing EC-related hysterectomy.
methodsUsing National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) data, we identified women (≥18 years) undergoing hysterectomy to treat EC between 2014 and 2020. We used multivariable logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations of race/ethnicity (white, black, and Latina) with postoperative complications and SAEs. We used Poisson regression with robust standard errors to calculate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% CIs for the association of race/ethnicity with length of hospital stay.
resultsOf 22,778 women undergoing EC-related hysterectomy, 3.1% developed postoperative complications. Black (adjusted OR: 1.62; 95% CI 1.05-2.48) and Latina women (adjusted OR: 1.79; 95% CI 1.04-3.09) had higher postoperative complication risks than white women. The overall SAE incidence was 5.0%. Black women (adjusted OR: 1.55, 95% CI 1.13-2.15) had higher SAE risks than white women. Length of hospital stay was significantly longer for black women than white women (IRR: 1.18; 95% CI 1.07-1.30).
conclusionsWe observed racial/ethnic disparities in EC-related hysterectomy surgical outcomes in a large, diverse sample of U.S. women between 2014 and 2020. Studies to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these racial disparities, with a focus on social context remain necessary.
