Association of Socioeconomic Disparities With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Survival in an Endemic Area, China.
Article in Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It carries an expression of concern. 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
objectivesThis retrospective cohort study investigated the association of socioeconomic status with survival outcomes among patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in an endemic area of China.
methodsThe primary endpoint was overall survival. Survival outcomes were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test, and the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios, 95% CIs, and independent prognostic factors.
resultsA total of 11 069 adult patients with NPC were enrolled and included in the analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that overall survival was significantly different among socioeconomic status. Compared with high socioeconomic status patients, low socioeconomic status patients (HR, 1.190; 95% CI, 1.063-1.333) and medium socioeconomic status patients (HR, 1.111; 95% CI, 1.006-1.226) were associated with increased hazard ratio (HR) of overall survival.
conclusionThis analysis highlights patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had high socioeconomic status had better overall survival compared with those who had low and medium socioeconomic status.
