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

backgroundAsian Americans (AA) in the United States represent a heterogenous population from various ethnic backgrounds. We compared cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality between various AA groups and Non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients diagnosed with urologic cancer.

methodsWe assembled a population-based cohort that included 389,114 prostate cancer, 98,721 renal cell cancer, and 126,485 bladder cancer patients. Cumulative cancer and CVD mortality were compared between AA and NHW groups, accounting for competing risk of death. Multivariable Cox models were used to quantify the cause-specific hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI), comparing AA subgroups (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Other Southeast Asian, and Indian/Pakistani) to NHW patients.

resultsAA ethnic subgroups had a lower or comparable mortality from prostate cancer compared with NHW patients (HR ranged 0.51-1.03). No overall difference was observed for renal cell cancer death, but an increased mortality was observed for Filipino (HR = 1.10; 95% CI, 1.00-1.22) and Other Southeast Asian (HR = 1.50; 95% CI, 1.06-2.12) patients that included Laotian, Hmong, Kampuchean, and Thai ethnicity. Although reduced mortality from bladder cancer (HR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.83-0.93) was observed compared to NHW patients, an increased mortality was seen among Other Southeast Asians (HR = 1.63; 95% CI, 1.15-2.30). CVD mortality varied across AA ethnicities, with higher mortality observed in Filipino and Other Southeast Asian (HR ranged 1.23-2.40) compared with Chinese patients.

conclusionsLarge heterogeneity exists in mortality among AA patients diagnosed with urologic cancer, with higher mortality from cancer and CVD observed in Filipino and Other Southeast Asian patients.
