Contemporary Trends in Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma: Incidence and Survival in the United States.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Background: Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare disease with a historically poor prognosis. Given the emergence of effective therapies, a contemporary analysis of MPM incidence and survival is warranted. Methods: The SEER-18 registry dataset was analyzed (2000−2018). Age-adjusted annual incidence was stratified by sex and histology. Joinpoint regression was used to estimate annual percent change (APC) in incidence. Multivariable cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate survival trends. Results: Of 1689 MPM cases, most were male (55.4%), >50 years (80.0%), and white (75.2%). Age-adjusted incidence of MPM remained stable over time, with an average annual incidence of 1.02 cases/million. Epithelioid histology increased by 240% (APC 2.6; 95% CI: 0.7, 4.5), while incidence of undefined histology decreased significantly (APC −2.1; 95% CI: −3.1, −1.1). Cases treated with cancer-directed surgery increased from 27% to 43%. Overall median age-standardized survival was 11.6 months. Median age-standardized survival was 16.6 months for epithelioid histology but 2.0 months for sarcomatoid histology. Diagnosis in recent years (2015−2018 HR 0.51; 95% CI: 0.38, 0.67) and receipt of cancer-directed surgery (HR 0.84; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.98) were associated with improved survival. Conclusions: Although the overall incidence of MPM remained stable, recognition of epithelioid histology increased. Concurrent with an increase in cancer-directed surgery, MPM survival has improved.
