Effect Modification of Race on the Associated Tumor Size at Diagnosis and 10-Year Cancer Survival Rates in Women with Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the United States.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWhile there may be an association between race, tumor size, and survival in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), evidence on the effect of race on the association between tumor size at diagnosis and survival is limited. Our study evaluated whether race modifies the association between tumor size and 10-year survival in cervical SCC.
methodsThis non-concurrent cohort study with the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database included women diagnosed with cervical SCC between 2004-2018. The independent variable was diagnosis tumor size, where 2-4 cm was classified as high risk, and <2 cm was considered low risk. The dependent variable was 10-year cancer-specific survival rates, and race was our effect modifier. Unadjusted and adjusted Cox regression analysis were conducted to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsWhile a higher proportion of Black/Asian/Pacific Islander patients presented with tumor sizes of 2-4 cm compared to <2 cm (32.8% vs. 22.3%;
conclusionAlthough race did not modify the interaction between tumor size and 10-year survival, emphasis needs to be placed on screening and proper data collection, especially for minority races, and studies with larger sample sizes should be conducted in order to better implement future recommendations to improve health and survival.
