Strengthening Cancer Surveillance in India: Role of the National Cancer Registry Programme.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cancer registries are an integral part of cancer surveillance and play a vital role in collecting and managing surveillance data. The National Cancer Registry Programme in India, which has been functional since 1981, has a wide network of 269 hospital-based and 38 population-based cancer registries functioning throughout the country. Cancer registries monitor and describe the trends in cancer incidence and mortality over time. They also provide vital information on the cancer caseload, such as the number of cancer patients in a specified location or the number of patients availing of care at a specific hospital. As a part of cancer surveillance, registries also play a critical role in designing cancer control plans, gauging the impact of primary and secondary preventive measures, and strengthening health systems. The data on cancer incidence have provided critical inputs to the central, state, and local government to plan, prioritize, and mobilize health resources for cancer control interventions. The role of cancer registries as a surveillance tool could be further strengthened by long-term sustainability through strong political will, making cancer a notifiable disease to facilitate reporting and linking cancer registries with medical records for better data capture.
