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 Hispanic population is the second largest racial/ethnic group in the United States, consisting of multiple distinct ethnicities. Ethnicity-specific variations in cancer mortality may be attributed to countries of birth, so we aimed to understand differences in cancer mortality among disaggregated Hispanics by nativity (native- or foreign-born vs. US-born) over 15 years.
methodsA total of 228,197 Hispanic decedents (Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Central or South American) with cancer-related deaths from US death certificates (2003-2017) were analyzed. Seven cancers that contribute significantly to Hispanic male (lung and bronchus, colon and rectum, liver, prostate, and pancreas cancers) and female (lung and bronchus, liver, pancreas, colon and rectum, female breast, and ovary cancers) mortality were selected for analysis. 5-year age-adjusted mortality rates [(95% confidence interval); per 100,000] and standardized mortality ratios (95% confidence interval) using foreign-born as the reference group were calculated. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to model cancer-related mortality trends.
resultsPuerto Rico-born Puerto Ricans, Cuba-born Cubans, and US-born Mexicans had some of the highest cancer death rates among all the Hispanic groups. In general, foreign-born Hispanics had higher cancer mortality rates than US-born Hispanics, except Mexicans. Overall, US-born and non-US-born (i.e., native- or foreign-born) Hispanic groups experienced decreasing rates of cancer deaths over the years.
conclusionsWe noted vast heterogeneity in mortality rates by nativity across Hispanic groups, a fast-growing diverse US population. IMPACT: Understanding disaggregated patterns and trends in cancer burden can motivate deeper discussion around community health resources, which may improve the health of Hispanics across the United States.
