Pregnancy-associated cancer death in the United States, 2018-2023.
Article in The oncologist, 2026. 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
backgroundCancer accounts for about 20% of late maternal deaths in the United States. This study described nationwide patterns of pregnancy-associated cancer mortality among women aged 15-54 years from 2018 to 2023.
methodsWe conducted a serial cross-sectional study using CDC WONDER data, including all live births and pregnancy-associated cancer deaths from 2018 to 2023. Mortality rates were estimated by census region, state, and race and ethnicity, and the proportional contribution of specific cancers was assessed.
resultsDuring 2018-2023, 731 pregnancy-associated cancer deaths occurred, a rate of 3.3 per 100 000 live births. Non-Hispanic Black women had the highest rate (4.8 per 100 000). Rates varied geographically, with the South highest and the West, particularly California, lowest. Breast cancer, hematologic malignancies, and colorectal cancer together accounted for nearly half of deaths.
conclusionsPregnancy-associated cancer mortality varied by region, state, and race and ethnicity, with breast, hematologic, and colorectal cancers as leading causes.
