Racial and socioeconomic disparities in surgical care for post-prostate cancer treatment complications: A nationwide Medicare-based analysis.
Article in BJUI compass, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
Objectives: To investigate the racial and socioeconomic (income) differences in receipt of and time to surgical care for urinary incontinence (UI) and erectile dysfunction (ED) occurring post-radical prostatectomy (RP) and/or radiation therapy (RT). Materials and Methods: Utilizing the Medicare Standard Analytical Files (SAF), a retrospective cohort study was performed on data of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) from 2015 to 2021. Patients who underwent RP and/or RT and who subsequently developed UI and/or ED were grouped into four cohorts: RP-ED, RP-UI, RT-ED and RT-UI. County-level median household income was cross-referenced with SAF county codes, classified into income quartiles, and used as a proxy for patient income status. The rate of surgical care was compared between groups using two-sample t-test and log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards modelling was used to determine covariate-adjusted impact of race on time to surgical care. Results: The rate of surgical care was 6.8, 3.61 3.07, and 1.54 per 100 person-years for the RP-UI, RT-UI, RP-ED, and RT-ED cohorts, respectively. Cox proportional Conclusions: Surgical care for post-PCa treatment complications is low, and significantly impacted by racial and socioeconomic (income) differences. Prospective studies investigating the basis of these results would be insightful.
