Cancer information and population health resource: a resource for catchment area data and cancer outcomes research.
Article in JNCI cancer spectrum, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center has developed a novel data resource, the Cancer Information and Population Health Resource (CIPHR), for conducting catchment area evaluation and cancer population health research that links the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry (NCCCR) to medical and pharmacy claims data from Medicare, Medicaid, and private plans operating within North Carolina. This study's aim was to describe the CIPHR data and provide examples of potential cohorts available in those data.
methodsWe present the underlying populations included in the NCCCR and claims data before linkage and demonstrate estimated sample sizes when these data are linked and commonly used insurance enrollment criteria are applied.
resultsData for the years 2003-2020 are present in CIPHR and include 947 977 cancer cases from the NCCCR and 21.6 million enrollees in public and private health insurance (cancer and noncancer cases). When limited to first or only cancers (n = 672 377), 86% could be linked to insurance enrollment for at least 1 month during 2003-2020 (n = 582 638), with 62% of individuals linking to enrollment during the month of cancer diagnosis. Among all registry cancer cases, 47% (n = 317 898) had continuous insurance enrollment for at least 12 months before and after cancer diagnosis.
conclusionCIPHR illustrates the utility of establishing and maintaining a statewide, comprehensive cancer population health database. This resource serves to characterize the cancer center catchment area and aids in tracking cancer outcomes and trends in care delivery as well as identifying disparities that require intervention and policy focus.
