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

purposeIn Iran, cancers are the third leading cause of death, and gastrointestinal cancers are the primary cause of mortality among all the cancers. This study aimed to determine the trend of crude and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) for different types of gastrointestinal cancers over an 11-year period in Fars province (Iran).

methodsIn this study, all the mortality data for gastrointestinal cancers were derived from the Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS) between 2005 and 2015. Subsequently, we calculated the crude and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and their trends for different types of gastrointestinal cancers based on age groups and gender over the study period.

resultsA total of 6547 deaths from gastrointestinal cancers were identified, with an average age of 66.0 ± 16.4 years. The crude and age-standardized mortality rates for gastrointestinal cancers were respectively 10.9 and 15.0 per 100,000 population in 2005 which significantly increased to 17.4 and 19.4 per 100,000 population in 2015 (P < 0.001). The ASMR for colon, pancreatic, and oral cancers showed an increasing trend; for small intestine cancers, a decreasing trend; and for esophageal, gastric, rectal, and hepatobiliary cancers displayed an almost constant trend.

conclusionsOur study shows a higher ASMR and an increasing trend of gastrointestinal cancers in Fars province. Prevention and early diagnosis programs with screening techniques should be implemented to control the mortality rate of gastrointestinal cancers in the future.
