Pancreatic Cancer in Iran: an Epidemiological Review.
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposePancreatic cancer is the seventh cause of death in men in the world and also is one of the most common malignancies worldwide with poor prognosis. Due to the lack of epidemiological aspects of pancreatic cancer in Iran, this study aimed to investigate the epidemiological aspects of pancreatic cancer in Iran.
methodsIn February 2019, A search was conducted with the keywords "Pancreatic Neoplasm," "Pancreas Neoplasms," "Cancer of Pancreas," "Pancreas Cancer," "Pancreatic Cancer," "Cancer of the Pancreas," and "Iran" in their title or abstract and MeSH. The databases of Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, SID, IranMedex, and Google Scholar were searched. The title and abstract of the papers were reviewed, and articles that addressed the epidemiological aspects of pancreatic cancer were included; in total, 20 full papers were reviewed.
resultsAccording to studies, the incidence and mortality rate of pancreatic cancer is steadily increasing with age. Actually, men are more likely to develop this carcinoma than women. Smoking, aging, and lifestyle changes are the most important risk factors for pancreatic cancer in Iran. Due to the lack of initial symptoms or a specific marker for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, this cancer is detected lately and therefore low survival rate is observed.
conclusionMortality and incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing in Iran. Pancreatic cancer is more common in men than women. Based on the results of this study, pancreatic cancer depends largely on the lifestyle. Survival of pancreatic cancer is low in untreated patients.
