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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a substantial public health challenge globally and is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the USA. Despite advances in screening and treatment, disparities in CRC outcomes persist, especially among Black individuals in the USA, who face higher CRC incidence and mortality and lower survival compared with White individuals. Inequities are largely attributed to social determinants of health (SDOH), such as access to health care, socioeconomic conditions and systemic inequities. In this Review, we examine Black-White disparities in CRC outcomes across the CRC care continuum in the USA, highlighting contributing modifiable (non-biological) and non-modifiable (biological) risk factors. We also discuss successful interventions that have reduced or eliminated disparities. Existing evidence suggests that Black-White differences in CRC screening participation, CRC incidence and CRC mortality can be resolved. Future efforts must emphasize improving access to screening and guideline-concordant treatment to achieve progress in the near term while addressing the underlying and historical SDOH that drive inequities to eliminate disparities in the long term. The Review underscores the need for sustained investment in addressing both immediate and systemic barriers to CRC screening and care in Black communities to eliminate disparities in CRC outcomes and improve the overall health of the nation.
