Racial/ethnic differences in the clinical presentation and survival of breast cancer by subtype.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Breast cancer (BC) affects racial and ethnic groups differently, leading to disparities in clinical presentation and outcomes. It is unclear how Hispanic ethnicity affects BC outcomes based on geographic location and proximity to the United States (U.S.)/Mexico border. We hypothesized that the impact of race/ethnicity on BC outcomes depends on geographic location and country of origin within each BC subtype. Methods: We analyzed BC data from the Texas Cancer Registry by race/ethnicity/birthplace according to BC subtype (luminal A/luminal B/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]/triple-negative breast cancer[TNBC]). Other covariates included age, geographic location (U.S., Mexico), residency (border, non-border), treatments, and comorbidities. Crude and adjusted effects of race/ethnicity and birthplace on overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Cox regression methods. Results: Our analysis of 76,310 patient records with specific BC subtypes revealed that Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black (NHB) patients were diagnosed at a younger age compared with non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients for all BC subtypes. For the 19,748 BC patients with complete data on race/ethnicity/birthplace/residency, Hispanic patients had a higher mortality risk in the Luminal A subtype, regardless of birthplace, whereas U.S.-born Hispanics had a higher risk of death in the TNBC subtype. In contrast, NHB patients had a higher mortality risk in the Luminal A and HER2 subtypes. Residence along the U.S./Mexico border had little impact on OS, with better outcomes in Luminal A patients and worse outcomes in Luminal B patients aged 60-74 years. Conclusion: Race/ethnicity, geographic birth location, and residency were significant predictors of survival in BC. Migration, acculturation, and reduced healthcare access may contribute to outcome differences.
