Trends of cancer incidence in Qassim Region, a descriptive analysis of data from the Saudi Cancer registry 2002-2016.
Article in International journal of health sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.

Methods: A descriptive analysis was conducted using the Saudi Cancer Registry (SCR) data. The annual percentage change (APC) was computed using Joinpoint regression software. Results: The Qassim region contributed to 4.3% ( Conclusion: The significant changes in cancer incidence in Qassim warrant further studies on the risk factors and preventive measures.
