The Influence of Ethnicity on Survival from Malignant Primary Brain Tumours in England: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundIn recent years, the completeness of ethnicity data in the English cancer registration data has greatly improved. Using these data, this study aims to estimate the influence of ethnicity on survival from primary malignant brain tumours.
methodsDemographic and clinical data on adult patients diagnosed with malignant primary brain tumour from 2012 to 2017 were obtained (
resultsAfter an adjustment for known prognostic factors and factors potentially affecting access to healthcare, patients with an Indian background (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.72-0.98), Any Other White (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.76-0.91), Other Ethnic Group (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.62-0.79), and Unknown/Not Stated Ethnicity (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.75-0.88) had better one-year survivals than the White British Group. Individuals with Unknown ethnicity are less likely be diagnosed with glioblastoma (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.58-0.84) and less likely to be diagnosed through a hospital stay that included an emergency admission (OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.53-0.69).
conclusionThe demonstrated ethnic variations associated with better brain tumour survival suggests the need to identify risk or protective factors that may underlie these differences in patient outcomes.
