The impact of socioeconomic status on glioma survival: a retrospective analysis.
Article in Cancer causes & control : CCC, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeAlthough sociodemographic factors such as socioeconomic status (SES), travel time to health care, cohabitation status, and region of residence are observed to influence incidence and survival for several types of cancers, it is unclear whether similar effects have been observed in patients with glioma. This study investigates whether these factors affect survival for glioma patients.
methodsIn this retrospective study, the Swedish National Quality Registry for Brain Tumors was used to identify 1,276 patients with glioma WHO grade I-IV for whom data were deposited between 2009 and 2013. The RISK North database, which links data from the National Cancer Quality Register with citizen demographic data from the Longitudinal Integration Database for Health Insurance and Labor Market Studies (LISA), the Total Population Registry (TPR), and the Geography Database (GD), was utilized to assess survival in patients with glioma in relation to education level, cohabitation status, travel time to regional hospitals, and region of residence.
resultsIn the multivariable analysis, longer survival was observed among WHO grade III-IV glioma patients with higher education level (middle school (ref) HR: 1, high school HR: 0.81 CI [0.67-0.98], p = 0.033; university/college HR: 0.81 CI [0.66-1.00], p = 0.048). Survival was not associated with travel time, cohabitation status, or region of residence in the multivariable survival analysis.
conclusionLow education level was associated with reduced survival for patients with glioma WHO grade III and IV in multivariable survival analyses, but no differences in survival were found in relation to travel time, cohabitation status, or region of residence.
