Marital status as an independent prognostic factor for patients of malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: The prognostic impact of marital status on malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is not investigated. This paper probes into the relationship between the prognosis of MPM and marital status. Materials and methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database of American had been applied to choose eligible patients over the 2004-2015 periods. Moreover, cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) of unmarried and married groups were compared. Results: A total of 3,997 patients in total had been identified, including 2,735 (68.43%) married patients. In comparison to unmarried patients, married ones tended to be younger, male, white, and received active treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy). In addition, the 1, 3, and 5-year CSS rates were 44.40, 12.09, and 6.88% in married patients, while 35.75, 12.12, and 6.37% in unmarried group ( Conclusion: Marital status is an independent favorable prognostic indicator of MPM. Poor prognosis in unmarried patients is likely to be related to insufficient treatments and socioeconomic and psychosocial factors.
