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

The Society of Surgical Oncology and its membership are committed to reducing and eliminating cancer disparities. Over the past several decades, plentiful research has identified marginalized populations who are at an elevated risk of developing cancer, are less likely to receive recommended cancer screenings and guideline-concordant care, and populations who have inferior oncologic outcomes after cancer treatment. Despite monumental strides in improving cancer outcomes, cancer disparities unfortunately remain a reality. Continued strategic efforts are needed to identify the root causes of these disparities and develop interventions to ensure equitable cancer care for all patients. This monumental task requires multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary team collaboration, input from community and patient stakeholders, investments from healthcare and hospital administrative leadership, and financial sponsorship to ensure sustainability. In this review, we discuss tools that surgical oncologists can use in developing programs and interventions to champion eliminating cancer disparities to ensure equitable oncologic outcomes for all patients at risk or diagnosed with cancer.
