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

backgroundAlthough previous studies have observed the relationship between living in persistent poverty areas (PPAs) and adverse cancer outcomes, the relationship between residing in PPAs and disparities in cancer incidence rates and temporal trends by race/ethnicity and sex in California is unknown.

methodsWe used California Cancer Registry data to identify patients diagnosed with 16 common cancers between 2006 and 2020. We calculated age-adjusted incidence rates (IRs), incidence rate ratios (IRRs), and average annual percent changes (AAPCs) to compare incidence and temporal trends in PPAs and non-PPAs in California by race/ethnicity and sex. PPA was defined as areas with a poverty rate of 20% or more for approximately 30 continuous years.

resultsMale patients in PPAs had significantly higher IRRs of colorectal, liver, lung, and stomach cancers, and female patients had higher cervical, kidney, liver, and stomach cancers. Across all racial/ethnic groups, cervical and liver cancer IRRs were significantly higher, and IRRs for female breast cancer were lower in PPAs. The incidence of several cancers significantly decreased over time only in non-PPAs. Colorectal cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma among Hispanic residents significantly increased in PPAs (AAPC = 0.4, 1.2) and colorectal cancer decreased only in non-PPAs (AAPC = -1.4). Thyroid cancer among non-Hispanic Black residents increased only in PPAs (AAPC = 4.7).

conclusionOur findings highlight race/ethnicity and sex disparities in cancer incidence and temporal trends for PPA residents. Further research is needed to understand the specific etiological factors underlying these disparities, and to support the development of public health policies and initiatives to decrease the cancer burden in California.
