Comparison of Capture Rates of the National Cancer Database Across Race and Ethnicity.
Article in JAMA network open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Importance: The National Cancer Database (NCDB) is an invaluable and widely used resource for cancer research, but the current state of representation of different racial and ethnic groups compared with the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) database is unknown. Objective: To examine whether Hispanic and American Indian or Alaska Native individuals have lower representation in the NCDB compared with the USCS database. Design, Setting, and Participants: This multicenter, retrospective cohort study assessed individuals diagnosed with breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2006, and January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019, in the NCDB and USCS databases. Data analysis was performed from September 2022 to October 2023. Exposure: Time. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the absolute percentage change (APC) in capture rate across the study period. Results: The cohort included 5 175 007 individuals (0.50% American Indian or Alaska Native, 3.10% Asian or Pacific Islander, 12.01% Black, 6.58% Hispanic, and 77.81% White) who were diagnosed with breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer. Capture rates were the lowest for individuals who were Hispanic (40.83% in 2004-2006 and 54.75% in 2017-2019; P < .001) or American Indian or Alaska Native (20.72% in 2004-2006 and 41.41% in 2017-2019; P < .001). The APCs were positive for both racial categories across all 4 cancers. However, overall APCs for Hispanic individuals (13.92%) remained lower than the overall APCs of White individuals (22.23%; P < .001). The APCs were greater for American Indian or Alaska Native individuals than for White individuals for prostate (14.68% vs 11.57%) and breast (21.61% vs 17.90%) cancer (P < .001), but the APCs for American Indian or Alaska Native individuals were lower than for White individuals for lung cancer (24.54% vs 33.03%; P < .001). Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study of individuals diagnosed with cancer in the NCDB, Hispanic and American Indian or Alaska Native individuals diagnosed with breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer were undercaptured in the NCDB, but their representation improved over time. Increased study is needed to determine where these populations predominantly seek cancer care.
