1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 is one of the important health problems in Iran, which is considered as the third cause of death. Endocrine cancers are rare but mostly curable. Thyroid cancer, the most common endocrine tumors, includes about one percent of malignant cancer. In this study, we examined the 15-year national trend of endocrine cancer incidence in Iranian men and women. The data in each province were evaluated based on age, gender, and cancer type according to International Classification of Disease Codes version 10 (ICD-10) from 2005 to 2020 in Iran. All data were obtained from the reports of the Statistics Center of Iran (SCI), 6 phases of the step-by-step approach to monitoring the risk factors of chronic diseases over 18 years old (STEPs), and 3 periods of the CASPIAN study (survey of non-communicable diseases in childhood and adolescence). Statistical analyzes and graph generation were done using R statistical software. Poisson regression with mixed effects was used for data modeling and incidence rate estimation. The incidence of thyroid gland malignancy is higher in women than in men. On the other hand, the incidence of adrenal gland cancer is slightly higher in men than in women. The same pattern is observed for other endocrine neoplasms and related structures. The incidence rate of these types of cancers has generally increased from 2005 to 2020 in Iran. This increase is more in women than in men. In addition, in the middle of the country, there is a strong region in terms of the occurrence of these types of cancers. The incidence rate in these provinces is relatively higher for both sexes and all studied periods. We conducted a study to observe the changing trends for various types of endocrine cancers over 15 years in men and women. Considering the increasing trend of thyroid cancers in Iran, therefore, creating essential policies for the management of these types of cancers for prevention, rapid diagnosis, and, timely treatment is particularly important.
