Trends in socioeconomic inequalities in breast cancer mortality in Canada: 1992-2019.
Article in Breast cancer research and treatment, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
purposeBreast cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer among Canadian females. This study aimed to quantify and assess trends in education and income inequalities in the mortality rate of breast cancer in Canada from 1992 to 2019.
methodsWe constructed a census division-level dataset pooled from the Canadian Vital Death Statistics Database (CVSD), the Canadian Census of the Population (CCP), and the National Household Survey (NHS) to examine trends in education and income inequalities in the mortality rate of breast cancer in Canada over the study period. The age-standardized Concentration index (C) was used to quantify income and education inequalities in breast cancer mortality over time.
resultsThe national crude mortality rate of breast cancer has decreased in Canada from 1992 to 2019, with Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec having the greatest decreases in mortality rate. The age-standardized C for education and income inequalities were always negative for all the study years, meaning that the mortality rate of breast cancer was higher among less-educated and poorer females. Moreover, the results indicate a growing trend in the concentration of breast cancer mortality among females with lower income and education from 1992 to 2019.
conclusionThe increasing concentration of breast cancer mortality among low socioeconomic status females remains a challenge in Canada. Continuous efforts are needed within Canadian healthcare system to improve the prevention and treatment of breast cancer for this population.
