The Incidence Rate of Colorectal Cancer in Saudi Arabia: An Observational Descriptive Epidemiological Analysis.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 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
introductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy and its incidence, as well as mortality rate, is increasing globally. In this paper, the epidemiological analysis of CRC which includes colon cancer (CC) and rectum cancer (RC) is done among the Saudi Arabian population based on the registered cases in the Saudi cancer registry between 2006 and 2016. The study describes the crude incidence rates (CIRs) and age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) of colorectal cancer by year of diagnosis, age group, and administrative regions to explore the spread, distribution, trend, and factual state of the disease in Saudi Arabia. METHODOLOGY: For statistical analysis of data,
resultsResults displayed that CRC is more frequent in males than females and have a high mean number and percentage in the old age group (60-75 and above). Riyadh (for CC and RC), Makkah (CC), and Eastern Province (RC) showed the highest mean CIR and ASIR for males. The highest CIR sex ratio was calculated in Jouf and Madinah for CC whereas Qassim, Jazan, and Tabuk were calculated highest for RC. Highest ASIR sex ratio reported in Jouf (CC) and Tabuk (RC). Lowest CIR and ASIR among males were reported in Baha (CC) and northern region (RC). In females, the highest mean CIR and ASIR were reported in Riyadh (CC and RC) and Makkah (CC). Lowest CIR and ASIR among females were reported in Jazan in both CC and RC.
conclusionRegions of Eastern Province, Northern Region, and Jouf showed the most significant changes of CIRs and ASIRs for both cancers, whereas the least significant change was reported in Jazan from 2006 to 2016.
