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, much effort has been made in China to reduce the burden of cervical cancer.

objectiveOur study's purpose was to examine trends of cervical cancer mortality in each 5-year age group for urban and rural Chinese women, respectively. DESIGNS: Retrospective analysis of cervical cancer mortality from 1987 to 2015 from the World Health Organization Cancer Mortality Database and China Health Statistical Yearbooks.

participantsChinese women. MAIN MEASURES: Trends were examined using annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC) via Joinpoint regression models for each 5-year age group in urban and rural areas, respectively.

resultsIn urban China, mortality rate of cervical cancer increased significantly among urban women aged 25-54 years (AAPC 2.12~5.49%), in contrast to a decline trend among urban women older than 60 years (AAPC - 3.61~- 5.35%). In rural China, cervical cancer rates declined in all age groups, but the magnitude was smaller in women aged 30-54 years (AAPC - 0.59~- 2.20%) compared to women older than 55 years (AAPC - 3.06~- 4.33%).

conclusionMortality rate of cervical cancer is rising at an alarming rate in younger women in urban China. Timely intervention is required for these vulnerable populations.
