Breast cancer before and during the AIDS epidemic in women and men: a study of Tanzanian Cancer Registry Data 1968 to 1996.
Article in Journal of the National Medical Association, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Kaposi's sarcoma and malignant lymphoma are two cancers that are most often associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Recently, other cancers, including cervical cancer, have been associated with AIDS. The role of HIV in the pathogenesis of these malignancies is not well understood, and few studies have been done to determine any general increase in cancers after the onset of the HIV epidemic. This study compared breast cancer before and during the AIDS period by studying the total Tanzanian Cancer Registry data (1968 to 1996). The mean age among males increased from 50.88 to 52.63 years (p = 0.45) and among females decreased from 44.79 to 43.23 years (p = 0.005) before and during the AIDS epidemic, respectively. A statistically significant decrease in the incidence of breast cancer was observed during the AIDS epidemic period in both males (p = 0.001) and females (p = 0.021). The male-to-female ratio widened significantly from 0.09:1 to 0.03:1 (p = 0.0001). Further studies are needed to determine the incidence and observed changes of different cancers, including breast among patients with HIV/AIDS.
