Associations of neighborhood racial and ethnic, economical, and educational segregation with breast cancer risk: The Multiethnic ohort Study.

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
purposeResidential segregation is recognized as an upstream driver of poor health, yet few studies have evaluated its impact on breast cancer incidence at a local level. We examined associations of neighborhood residential segregation with breast cancer (BC) incidence in the Multiethnic Cohort Study (MEC).
methodsMeasures of Index of Concentration at the Extremes were developed to assess residential segregation by income, education, race and ethnicity, and racialized income. A prospective study (1993-1996 through December 2019) was conducted to examine associations of these measures and breast cancer incidence for 101,785 African American, Japanese American, Latina, Native Hawaiian, and White female participants in the MEC, aged 45-75 years at baseline and residing in California and Hawai'i. Multivariable Cox regression was conducted to evaluate the associations of several residential segregation measures with breast cancer incidence (cases = 7,381) adjusting for demographic, lifestyle, and reproductive factors.
resultsIn California, BC risk was higher for females residing in neighborhoods with the highest compared to lowest concentration of privilege by income segregation (quintile 5 [Q5] vs. Q1: hazard ratio [HR] 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-1.25, P
conclusionIn California, residential economic privilege was independently associated with increased BC risk. Future studies should examine neighborhood- and individual-level pathways placing females residing in privileged areas at greater risk.
