1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: The objective of this study is to identify healthcare inequities in referrals and diagnoses of suspected prostate cancer (PCa) in an ethnically diverse and socially deprived large urban region. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 2-Week Wait (2WW) suspected PCa patients ( Results: Of all referrals, 22% were diagnosed with PCa. There were no statistically significant differences in referrals, diagnoses or T-stage of PCa by ethnicity during COVID lockdown versus non-lockdown periods ( Conclusion: We identify disparities in PCa incidence, stage and age at presentation, as well as socio-economic deprivation among Black men in NEL. Targeted efforts are needed to mitigate these healthcare inequities.
