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

purposeBreast cancer is one of the rapidly increasing cancers among women and a significant cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, the current study was designed to examine and compare trends of breast cancer incidence (BCI) during the observed period (1990-2015) in specific age groups and investigate age-specific, time period, and birth cohort-related effects on BCI in China, India, Pakistan, and Thailand. PATIENTS AND

methodData related to BCI were retrieved from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Age-period-cohort model joint with intrinsic estimator algorithm was used to estimate the effect of age, period, and birth cohort on BCI. BCI rates were analyzed among different age groups ranging from 20 to 84 years in specified periods.

resultOverall, results showed an increasing trend of BCI among four Asian countries during the study period especially in age groups 50 to 84 years. Higher incidence rates were observed in 2015 in the age group 70-74, 65-69, 50-54, and 60-64 in Pakistan, China, India, and Thailand, respectively. Age period cohort analysis revealed significantly raised effect of age and period and declined effect of the cohort on incidence rates.

conclusionThe current study reported increased BCI with time in selected four Asian countries. Overall, BCI remained high in Pakistan as compared to China, India, and Thailand. Although proper registries are not available in most of the developing Asian countries, the current study highlighted the increased incidence and may play an essential role in registries development or spreading awareness against this disease. Therefore, maintaining proper records to build registries at the national level along with advancements in breast cancer screening and treatment are highly recommended to deal with the increasing burden of this disease.
