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

Lung cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Latin America. While incidence and mortality rates are higher in other populations, the ``Hispanic paradox'' observed in US Hispanics reflects a lower mortality rate for mortality from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) despite socioeconomic disparities, which may be related to epigenetic and cultural factors. Genetic studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with ancestry as key contributors to lung cancer risk and outcomes, emphasizing the importance of genomic insights for early detection and personalized treatments. This narrative review explores the impact of genetic ancestry on lung cancer in Hispanic/Latino populations. We searched MEDLINE and Google Scholar for "((SNP) OR (germline) OR (variant)) AND (lung cancer) AND ((Hispanic) OR (Latin))," focusing on Latin American studies. We included articles published up to December 2024. Specific variation in genes such as XRCC1, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, SEMA3B, PADPRP, and mEPHX have been associated with increased lung cancer risk. Lung cancer incidence and prognosis vary significantly among Hispanics due to their diverse genetic ancestry. Understanding ancestry-specific genetic variations may help personalize treatment and improve outcomes for this population.
