Epidemiological Profile of Ophir Loyola Cancer Hospital: A Snapshot of the Incidence of Solid Neoplasms in the Eastern Amazon.
Article in Medical sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundSolid neoplasms have a heterogeneous incidence worldwide and in Brazil. Thus, the region delimited by the Legal Amazon has a distinct epidemiological profile. In Pará, Ophir Loyola Cancer Hospital(OLCH) accounts for 71.11% of hospital visits in the state.
methodsThis was an ecological, exploratory, and mixed descriptive studythat investigated the epidemiological profile of patients with cancer treated at OLCH from January to December 2020. Sociodemographic data at admission were the primary variables, which were analyzed according to spatial distribution.
resultsIn this study, the data of 2952 patients were analyzed, with the majority being between the ages of 50 and 79 years (62.47%), female (59.49%), and diagnosed but without previous treatment (87.30%). The most common cancers were breast (16.50%), cervical (13.40%), stomach (8.98%), and prostate (7.72%). Of the 12 integration regions, Guajará had the highest number of referrals (49.86%), followed by Guamá (12.94%) and Caeté River (8.98%).
conclusionThe profile of care at OLCH showed a high incidence of solid malignancies compared to that in other regions of Brazil, indicating environmental and sociocultural influences on the carcinogenic profile present in the eastern Amazon.
