Trends and sex-specific incidence of upper urinary tract cancer in Taiwan: A birth cohort study.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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.

Abstract
backgroundTaiwan has one of the highest incidences of upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) worldwide, especially in women; however, no nationwide, long-term follow-up study has evaluated this.
methodsWe investigated the incidence of UTUC in Taiwan using data from the national population-based Taiwan Cancer Registry database (1985-2019). We divided the birth cohort into nine 5-year age groups and calculated the age-specific incidence for these groups according to the corresponding birth years.
resultsThe average annual percent change in the incidence of renal pelvis cancer from 1985 to 2019 showed sex-specific differences, with 3.5% and 5.3% increases in the incidences in men and women, respectively. The age-specific incidence rate for renal pelvis cancer among women showed a gradual increase in the group with older women as well as an increase over time in each age group. The results of a birth cohort analysis revealed that younger cohorts had higher incidence rates of renal pelvis cancer than older cohorts did.
conclusionWe demonstrated that the incidence of UTUC is unusually high among older Taiwanese women and that younger cohorts have a high risk of UTUC than older cohorts.
