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

backgroundIn recent decades, the patterns and trends of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer epidemics in Chinese population have been changing.

aimsTo present the epidemiological trends and geographic distributions of four major GI cancers (esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer and colorectal cancer) in China from 2010 to 2014.

methodsIt used standardized data extracted from the National Central Cancer Registry database.

resultsThe age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) of esophageal cancer decreased from 16.7 to 12.2 per 100,000 and the age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) decreased from 12.0 to 8.8 per 100,000. The ASIR and the ASMR of stomach cancer dropped from 23.7 to 19.5 per 100,000 and from 16.6 to 13.3 per 100,000. The ASIR of liver cancer fell from 21.4 to 17.8 per 100,000 and its ASMR fell from 18.4 per 100,000 to 15.3 per 100,000. The ASIR of colorectal cancer increased from 16.1 to 17.5 per 100,000, whereas the ASMR fluctuated between 7.6 and 7.9 per 100,000. Moreover, the incidence and mortality of each cancer differed between males and females, urban and rural residence, as well as various regions.

conclusionFrom 2010 to 2014, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer and liver cancer showed downward trend, while the ASIR of colorectal cancer slightly rose and its ASMR presented stable.
