Epithelial ovarian cancer survival by race and ethnicity in an equal-access healthcare population.
Article in British journal of cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundPrevious studies in the general population observed that compared with non-Hispanic White women, Pacific Islander and Black women have higher age-adjusted mortality rates from epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), while Asian American patients have lower mortality. We investigated whether race and ethnicity is associated with differences in EOC survival in a United States Military population where patients have equal access to healthcare.
methodsThis retrospective study included women diagnosed with EOC between 2001 and 2018 among Department of Defense beneficiaries. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusting for age and year of diagnosis, histology and stage.
resultsIn our study population of 1230 invasive EOC cases (558 non-Hispanic White, 74 non-Hispanic Black, 73 Asian, 30 Pacific Islander and 36 Hispanic cases), 63% of the women died (all-cause death) after a mean = 4.8 years (SD = 4.1) of follow-up following diagnosis. Compared with non-Hispanic White cases, Asian cases had better overall survival, HR = 0.76 (95% CI = 0.58-0.98), whereas there were no differences in survival for other racial and ethnic groups.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the need to investigate how differences in access to healthcare may influence observed racial and ethnic disparities for EOC.
