1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States (US); however, there are limited data on location of death in patients who die from CRC. We examined the trends in location of death and determinants in patients dying from CRC in the US.

methodsWe utilized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database to extract nationwide data on underlying cause of death as CRC. A multinomial logistic regression was performed to assess associations between clinico-sociodemographic characteristics and location of death.

resultsThere were 850,750 deaths due to CRC from 2003 to 2019. There was a gradual decrease in deaths in hospital, nursing home, or outpatient facility/emergency department over time and an increase in deaths at home and in hospice. Relative to White decedents, Black, Asian, and American Indian/Alaska Native decedents were less likely to die at home and in hospice compared with hospitals. Individuals with lower educational status also had a lower risk of dying at home or in hospice compared with in hospitals.

conclusionsThe gradual shift in location of death of patients who die of CRC from institutionalized settings to home and hospice is a promising trend and reflects the prioritization of patient goals for end-of-life care by healthcare providers. However, there are existing sociodemographic disparities in access to deaths at home and in hospice, which emphasizes the need for policy interventions to reduce health inequity in end-of-life care for CRC.
