Assessing Upstream Structural and Social Drivers of Health in Breast Cancer Survivorship: The Pathways Study Neighborhood Resource.

The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundResearch has linked neighborhood factors (e.g., air pollution, obesogenic environment) often associated with residential segregation to cancer disparities, including mortality. Limited research has explored these multilevel drivers of health, recognizing residential segregation as upstream of neighborhood social, built, and physical environment attributes. In this study, we describe the neighborhood data resource of the Pathways Study, a diverse cohort of women diagnosed with breast cancer.
methodsUsing data from multiple sources, including the 2010 US Census, we appended census tract and block group-level measures that characterize the participants' baseline neighborhoods. We examined distributions of neighborhood attributes by the Index of Concentration at the Extremes, a measure of racialized economic segregation, to demonstrate the relationships among these factors.
resultsTwenty-eight percent of the participants resided in neighborhoods with the highest concentrations of high-income non-Hispanic White residents [i.e., most privileged neighborhoods; quintile (Q) 5] compared with only 9% who resided in neighborhoods with the highest concentrations of low-income residents from minoritized racial/ethnic groups (i.e., least privileged neighborhoods, Q1). Participants residing in less privileged neighborhoods had more exposure to detrimental neighborhood attributes, including a higher overall pollution burden, markers of physical disorder (e.g., graffiti and garbage), more barred windows, and a higher crime index.
conclusionsFor a cohort of breast cancer survivors, residing in neighborhoods with less privilege shows evidence of adverse neighborhood attributes across domains of social, built, and physical environments. IMPACT: This neighborhood infrastructure is well positioned to assess interactions across the multilevel factors contributing to health disparities in women with breast cancer.
