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

purposeAmong the over 3.5 million prostate cancer survivors in the United States, prostate cancer is frequently diagnosed cancer among Latino men. Latino cancer survivors are more likely to experience poorer quality of life than White survivors. However, limited research has explored quality of life disparities between Latino and White prostate cancer survivors. Hence, we aimed to assess the health-related quality of life between a cohort of Latino and White men with prostate cancer.

methodsWe used survey data from participants in the UCLA Men's Health Study between 2001 and 2018. Independent t-tests and multivariable linear regressions were used to assess quality of life, both general and prostate-cancer specific between Latino and White men at program enrollment.

resultsOur sample included 291 Latino men and 65 non-Latino White men. In multivariable linear models, general health (β = -7.93, p < 0.01) and sexual bother (β = -14.33, p < 0.05) remained significantly worse among Latino men than White men after controlling for age, relationship status, education, income, comorbidities, Gleason grade group, and primary treatment.

conclusionsLatino men with prostate cancer reported poorer quality of life, particularly in the domains of general health and sexual bother compared to White men. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Findings highlight the need for survivorship care that addresses Latino prostate survivors' unique needs including general health and sexual bother.
