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

introductionApproximately 12.4% of patients with lung cancer experience depression after cancer diagnosis. Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders (ANHPIs) constitute a large group with heterogeneity. The aim of this study is to examine the racial differences in depression risk, comparing overall ANHPI and ANHPI ethnic groups to non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients with lung cancer.

methodWe utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-Medicare and SEER-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System (CAHPS) dataset. We included patients with primary lung cancer who were aged 66 and older, diagnosed from 2000 to 2017 with full coverage of Medicare Part A and B. One ANHPI patient with lung cancer was matched to three NHW patients with lung cancer based on sex, diagnosis age, and diagnosis year. We used the Cox proportional hazards model to estimate the differences in depression incidence among ANHPI and NHW patients with lung cancer.

resultsOverall ANHPI, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Asian Indian or Pakistani, and other Asian patients with lung cancer had a lower incidence of depression than NHW patients with lung cancer. Korean patients with lung cancer (HR 1.62, 95% CI 1.05-2.51) had a higher incidence of depression when compared to Chinese patients with lung cancer. ANHPI and NHW males had a lower incidence of depression compared to female lung cancer patients.

conclusionKorean patients with lung cancer may have a higher incidence of depression than Chinese comparisons. More research to investigate the heterogeneity and underdiagnosis of depression risk among older ANHPI groups is needed.
