Survival of Middle Eastern and North African Individuals Diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer: A Population-Based Study in California.

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
backgroundLiterature on colorectal cancer outcomes in individuals of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) descent is limited. To address this gap, we estimated five-year colorectal cancer-specific survival by race and ethnicity, including MENA individuals, in a diverse, population-based sample in California.
methodsWe identified adults (ages 18-79 years) diagnosed with a first or only colorectal cancer in 2004 to 2017 using the California Cancer Registry (CCR), including non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic Asian, Hispanic, and MENA individuals. For each racial/ethnic group, we calculated five-year colorectal cancer-specific survival and used Cox proportional hazards regression models to examine the association of race/ethnicity and survival, adjusting for clinical and socio demographic factors.
resultsOf 110,192 persons diagnosed with colorectal cancer, five-year colorectal cancer-specific survival was lowest in Black (61.0%) and highest in MENA (73.2%) individuals. Asian (72.2%) individuals had higher survival than White (70.0%) and Hispanic (68.2%) individuals. In adjusted analysis, MENA [adjusted HR (aHR), 0.82; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.76-0.89], Asian (aHR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.83-0.90), and Hispanic (aHR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.91-0.97) race/ethnicity were associated with higher, and Black (aHR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.09-1.18) race/ethnicity was associated with lower survival compared with non-Hispanic White race/ethnicity.
conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first study to report colorectal cancer survival in MENA individuals in the United States. We observed higher survival of MENA individuals compared with other racial/ethnic groups, adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical factors. IMPACT: Future studies are needed to identify factors contributing to cancer outcomes in this unique population.
