Periodic Fluctuations in the Incidence of Gastrointestinal Cancer.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeNative stem cells can be periodically replaced during short and long epigenetic intervals. Cancer-prone new stem cells might bring about periodic (non-stochastic) carcinogenic events rather than stochastic events. We investigated the epigenetic non-stochastic carcinogenesis by analyzing regular fluctuations in lifelong cancer incidence. MATERIALS AND
methodsKorean National Cancer Screening Program data were collected between 2009 and 2016. Non-linear and log-linear regression models were applied to comparatively evaluate non-stochastic and stochastic increases in cancer incidence. Prediction performances of regression models were measured by calculating the coefficient of determination, R
resultsThe incidence of gastric and colorectal cancers fluctuated regularly during both short (8 years) and long (20 years) intervals in the non-linear regression model and increased stochastically in the log-linear regression model. In comparison between the 20-year interval fluctuation model and the stochastic model, R
conclusionLifelong incidence of gastrointestinal cancer tended to fluctuate during short and long intervals, especially in men with gastric cancer, suggesting the influence of an epigenetic schedule.
