Gastric Cancer Risk among Immigrants and Socioeconomic Groups in the Netherlands.

The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundIdentification of groups at a high risk of gastric cancer could facilitate targeted screening in countries with a low gastric cancer incidence. Our aim was to identify such high-risk groups based on individual-level population data on migration history and socioeconomic status (SES) in the Netherlands.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, patient data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry were linked to demographic data of Statistics Netherlands in the period 2010 to 2022. Gastric cancer incidence rates in the 14 largest immigrant populations were compared with those born in the Netherlands. Odds ratios (OR) were computed per birthplace and controlled for age, sex, and SES. Additionally, we investigated gastric cancer risk among second-generation immigrants and by SES.
resultsImmigrant populations at a significantly higher gastric cancer risk compared with the general population were identified. Specifically, foreign-born first-generation immigrants from Bosnia-Herzegovina (OR, 2.42), Turkey (OR, 2.22), and China (OR, 1.92) showed elevated risk. Whereas low SES increased the odds of developing gastric cancer, first-generation immigrants remained at higher risk even after controlling for SES. Second-generation immigrants did not have a significantly higher risk of developing gastric cancer.
conclusionsCertain first-generation immigrants remain at an elevated risk for gastric cancer despite migration to a low-risk region. Identification of these high-risk groups should be used to facilitate targeted gastric cancer prevention. IMPACT: Potential benefits of targeted Helicobacter pylori test-and-treat policy in immigrant populations should be explored in clinical and modeling studies. Primary care physicians should be cognizant of high-risk groups, facilitating the early detection of cancer within these populations.
