Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are among the fastest-growing racial groups in the United States but remain underrepresented in cancer research, leading to gaps in understanding their cancer risks and outcomes. This study examines cancer mortality trends among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders from 1999 to 2020 using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) data. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) per 100,000 individuals and average annual percent change (AAPC) were analyzed with Joinpoint Regression. Overall cancer AAMR significantly declined from 188.68 (95% Confidence Interval [CI], 184.49-192.88) to 138.85 (95% CI, 136.9-140.8) per 100,000 individuals, with an AAPC of -1.44 (95% CI, -1.53, -1.34). Lung cancer (21.94%), colon cancer (7.40%), and pancreatic cancer (7.09%) were the leading causes of cancer death. Men had higher AAMR than women (188.75 [95% CI, 187.78-189.72] vs. 136.01 [95% CI, 135.31-136.71] per 100,000 individuals). The highest AAMR were observed in the West (172.95 [95% CI, 172.16-173.74] per 100,000 individuals) and rural areas (175.34 [95% CI, 172.00-178.68] per 100,000 individuals). Despite declining mortality, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders experienced slower reductions in mortality compared to other racial groups, with disparities persisting across sex, geography, and urbanization. Targeted prevention efforts, improved screening, and culturally tailored interventions are essential to address these gaps and improve outcomes.
