Subtype-specific epidemiology of lymphoid malignancies in Taiwan compared to Japan and the United States, 2002-2012.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
backgroundThere are many unrevealed parts regarding lymphoma etiology. Previous studies suggested differences in lymphoma epidemiology among countries existed; however, some were one-center studies that were not enough to represent the whole population.
objectiveTo provide epidemiological information on lymphoma within Taiwanese and to compare the data with that in Japan and the United States.
methodsWe used Taiwan Cancer Registry Database as our data source. Patients with lymphoma were identified through the ICD-O-3 codes and those with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) were categorized into three major types and 13 subtypes according to 2008 WHO classification. Incidence of lymphoma was adjusted according to the 2000 world standard population.
resultsDuring 2002-2012, 21 929 cases were diagnosed with four major types of lymphoma in Taiwan. Aggressive B-cell lymphoma (52.21%, N = 11 450) was the most common type of NHL. Median age at diagnosis of aggressive B-cell lymphoma was the eldest (63.0-65.0 years). Male excess in T/NK-cell lymphoma was the most obvious (sex ratio: 1.39-2.07). The incidence of NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, was higher (male: 0.16-0.34 per 100 000, female: 0.06-0.16 per 100 000) in Taiwan than that in the United States and Japan.
conclusionThis is the first population-based study in Taiwan to investigate subtype-specific epidemiology of lymphoma. The incidence rates of lymphoma in Taiwan are mostly lower than those in the United States and higher or comparable to those in Japan except for NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, whose age-adjusted incidence in Taiwan is the highest.
