Place of Death Among Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Decedents in the United States, 1999-2020: National Trends and Disparities.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 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
purposePlace of death is a key population-level indicator of where end-of-life care occurs. We examined place-of-death trends and sociodemographic disparities among U.S. early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) decedents.
methodsUsing CDC WONDER mortality data (1999-2020) for colorectal cancer decedents aged < 50 years, we analyzed the primary outcome of death at home/hospice facility vs. other settings. Trends were assessed with log-linked Poisson regression (annual percent change [APC]); subgroup associations were examined using multivariable logistic regression.
resultsOf 75,428 EOCRC decedents, 54.1% died at home/hospice facilities. This proportion increased from 48.3% (1999) to 66.6% (2020) (APC: 1.87%, 95% CI: 1.72-2.03%). In adjusted analyses, Black (aOR: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.54-0.59) and Asian or Pacific Islander (aOR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.66-0.77) decedents had lower odds of home/hospice death than White decedents. Decedents in the Northeast also had lower odds than those in the South (aOR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.71-0.77). Separate analyses of home vs. hospice deaths from 2003 to 2020 indicated a sharp increase in hospice facility deaths, whereas the home death trend was sensitive to the inclusion of 2020.
conclusionNon-acute-institutional deaths became more common among EOCRC decedents from 1999 to 2020, but significant racial and regional disparities persisted. These findings highlight the need to evaluate barriers to hospice access and community-based end-of-life care in this younger population.
