Lung Cancer and Risk Factors in Lebanon: Epidemiology, Temporal Trends, and Comparison to Countries From Different Regions in the World.
Article in Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 11 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
backgroundLung cancer (Lca) is the leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study examines the Lca incidence and trends in Lebanon and compares them to regional and global ones. It also discusses Lca risk factors in Lebanon.
methodsLung cancer data from the Lebanese National Cancer Registry for 2005 to 2016 was obtained. The age-standardized incidence rates (ASRw) and age-specific rates per 100 000 population were calculated.
resultsLung cancer ranked second for cancer incidence in Lebanon from 2005-2016. Lung cancer ASRw ranged from 25.3 to 37.1 per 100 000 males and 9.8 to 16.7 per 100 000 females. Males 70-74 and females 75+ had the highest incidence. Lung cancer ASRw in males increased significantly at 3.94% per year from 2005 to 2014 (
conclusionLung cancer incidence in Lebanon is among the highest in the MENA region. The leading known modifiable risk factors are tobacco smoking and air pollution.
