Cancer registration for cancer control in Latin America: a status and progress report.
Article in Revista panamericana de salud publica = Pan American journal of public health, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cancer incidence by type has been included as a core indicator in the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Monitoring Framework for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases. The Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR), coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), supports low- and middle-income countries to reduce disparities in cancer information for cancer control by increasing the coverage and quality of cancer registration. A baseline assessment has been performed at the IARC Regional Hub for Latin America using secondary and public information sources. Countries have been categorized according to the following criteria for population-based cancer registries (PBCRs): 1) "has no established PBCR (but some registration activity)," 2) "has established PBCR(s) but none of high-quality," and 3) "has established, high-quality PBCR(s) (regional or national)." Currently, in LatinAmerica, most countries have cancer control plans in place; PBCRs cover approximately20% of the region's population, though only 7% are deemed as having high-quality information. No information is available on the extent of use of the information generated by PBCRs for cancer control purposes. Though there are important advances in cancer registration in the region, there is still much to be done. This report also outlines key elementsfor improving cancer surveillance in the region, including 1) involvement of local stakeholders and experts, 2) integration of cancer registries into existing surveillance systems(accounting for the complexities and particularities of cancer surveillance), 3) improvementin data availability and quality, 4) enhanced communication and dissemination, and 5) better linkages between cancer registries and cancer planning and cancer research.
