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

BACKGROUND AND

aimAlthough some researchers have examined EO-CRC clinical presentations, much of this research has focused on non-US populations or single healthcare centers. Limited research has also explored outcomes across diverse racial/ethnic groups. Thus, we examined the relationship of five racial/ethnic groups (non-Hispanic White [NHW], non-Hispanic Black [NHB], American Indian/Alaskan Native [AI/AN], Asian/Pacific Islanders [PI], Hispanic) with EO-CRC tumor characteristics/histologic types and risk of CRC death.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort analysis using data from the 2006-2020 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression and logistical regression models were performed.

resultsAmong 46,956 patients, the lower 5-year survival rate was 64.8% among NHB patients (vs. 69.7% for AI/AN, 70.6% for Hispanic, 72.4% for Asian/PI, and 73.4% for NHW patients, p-value < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, NHB, Asian/PI, and Hispanic patients were 10-12% more likely to have late stage at diagnosis and had increased risk of CRC death by 9-37% than NHW patients (p-value < 0.05). Further, NHB patients were 52% more likely to have a right-sided CRC (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.43-1.61), Asian/PI were 15% more likely to have high pathological grading (OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.06-1.25), and Hispanic patients were 25% more likely to have MAC/SC subtype (OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.16-1.35).

conclusionEffective patient-centered communication tailored to the specific needs of racial and ethnic minorities through primary care initiatives may have potential for improving early detection and outcomes, particularly for younger populations and racial minorities.
