Ethnic/Racial Disparities in Pancreatic Cancer Mortality Across the United States: A National Inpatient Sample Database Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background and objective(s) Pancreatic cancer remains a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality in the United States, with notable racial disparities in both incidence and mortality rates. This study aimed to investigate potential racial disparities in pancreatic cancer mortality across different racial/ethnic groups in the United States by using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database of 2016-2020. Methods Using data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database, we identified 32,357 individuals aged 18 years and older with a primary diagnosis of pancreatic cancer between 2016 and 2020. The sample was weighted to be nationally representative. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the association between race/ethnicity and pancreatic cancer mortality, adjusting for potential confounding factors such as age, gender, and patient location. Results Among the study population, 72.11% were White individuals, 14.48% were Black/African American individuals, 9.38% were Hispanic individuals, 3.67% were Asian/Pacific Islander individuals, and 0.36% were Native American individuals. Black/African American individuals demonstrated significantly higher odds of mortality compared to White individuals (adjusted odds ratio (OR)=1.339, 95% CI: 1.324-1.478, p < 0.0001). Asian/Pacific Islander individuals also exhibited higher odds of mortality (adjusted (OR)=1.442, 95% CI: 1.308-1.590, p < 0.0001). No statistically significant differences were observed for Hispanic or Native American individuals compared to White individuals. Conclusions This study provided evidence of racial disparities in pancreatic cancer mortality, with Black/African American and Asian/Pacific Islander individuals facing significantly higher odds of mortality compared to White individuals. These findings underscored the need for targeted interventions and policies to address these inequities and promote health equity in pancreatic cancer outcomes.
