Cancer and Health Inequalities.
Review in British journal of 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
Cancer is subject to stark inequalities, with mortality rates 60% higher in the most deprived parts of the UK. Most research has focused on the role of behavioural risk factors or access to health care services. Insufficient attention has been paid to the influence of socio-economic factors across the whole cancer continuum. This essay argues that to reduce cancer inequalities and improve patient experience and clinical outcomes, we need to look more widely at inequalities in: (1) the risk of developing cancer; (2) the effectiveness of prevention, detection and diagnosis; (3) treatment; (4) survivorship, and (5) access to palliative care. We argue that a stronger awareness and understanding of the influence of the wider social, economic and cultural context of health can enable clinicians to improve the delivery of more equitable cancer care. We conclude by recommending ways forward to improve the cancer continuum for everyone.
