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
backgroundIt remains unclear whether residential segregation impacts on clinical treatment and outcomes for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a nonobligate precursor to invasive breast cancer (IBC).
methodsThis population-based retrospective cohort study included adult non-Hispanic White and Black women diagnosed with unilateral DCIS between January 1990 and December 2015, followed through December 2016, and identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results dataset. County-level racialized economic segregation was measured using the Index of Concentration at the Extremes. Multilevel logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression accounting for county-level clustering were used to estimate the ORs of local treatment and HRs of subsequent IBC and mortality.
resultsOf 103,898 cases, mean age was 59.5 years, 12.5% were non-Hispanic Black, 87.5% were non-Hispanic White, 97.5% underwent surgery, 64.5% received radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery (BCS), 7.1% developed IBC, and 18.6% died from all causes. Among women living in the least versus most privileged counties, we observed higher odds of receiving mastectomy [vs. BCS; OR = 1.51; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.35-1.69; Ptrend < 0.001] and radiotherapy following BCS(OR = 1.27; 95% CI, 1.07-1.51; Ptrend < 0.01); the risk was higher in subsequent ipsilateral IBC (HR = 1.16; 95% CI, 1.02-1.32; Ptrend = 0.04), not in breast cancer-specific mortality (HR = 1.04; 95% CI, 0.88-1.23; Ptrend = 0.56).
conclusionsThe results provide evidence for disparities in clinical treatment for DCIS and prognostic outcomes among women in racially and economically segregated counties. IMPACT: Our findings may inform geographically targeted multilevel interventions to reduce breast cancer burden and improve breast cancer care and equity.
