Mitigation of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Surgical Treatment and Outcomes of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in a Closed Health Care Delivery System.

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
backgroundPrevious studies have demonstrated racial and ethnic disparities in the treatment and outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer. However, none of these studies has examined whether these disparities exist in a closed health care delivery system. The aim of this study was to identify racial and ethnic disparities in rates of diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer with liver metastasis (CRLM) within the Kaiser Permanente Southern California system.
methodsThe authors performed a retrospective review of 110 adult patients with CRLM who underwent surgery on both sites with curative intent at any Kaiser Permanente Southern California facility between 2010 and 2020. The authors stratified patients by race and ethnicity as Asian/Asian American, Black, Hispanic, or White individuals.
resultsThere was a statistically significant difference in race and ethnicity breakdown between all Kaiser Permanente members and the patients diagnosed with CRLM (
conclusionWithin a closed health care delivery system, racial and ethnic disparities in treatment and outcomes were not observed for surgical patients with CRLM. However, disparities in diagnosis for the Hispanic population persist and should be addressed.
