Incidence of dysphagia requiring medical attention in various types of cancers: A nationwide population-based cohort study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeMost previous reports on dysphagia in cancer have focused on specific cancer types, particularly head and neck cancer. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the incidence of dysphagia in patients with various cancers using a nationwide database in South Korea.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study using the National Health Insurance Service database. Claim codes were used for the selection criteria and operational definitions. The total population data from 2010 to 2015 were extracted. The crude incidence of dysphagia was calculated per 1,000 person-years. The multivariate adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression was used to determine the effects of different cancers on the incidence of dysphagia.
resultsPeople with cancer had a lower income and suffered from a higher risk of comorbidities compared to people without cancer. The risk of dysphagia increased in all types of cancers, particularly in the oral cavity and pharynx (hazard ratio [HR]: 20.65, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 17.73-24.06), esophagus (HR: 18.25, 95% CI: 15.66-21.26), larynx (HR: 12.87, 95% CI: 10.33-16.02), and central nervous system (HR: 12.42, 95% CI: 10.33-14.94).
conclusionsThe risk of dysphagia was significantly higher in the cancer group than in the non-cancer group. As the survival of cancer patients is improving with the development of new treatments, more attention should be paid to dysphagia in the management of cancer. Prompt and appropriate multidisciplinary interventions for dysphagia are necessary to improve the recovery and quality of life in cancer patients.
