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

backgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is experiencing a global increase, particularly in Northeast Thailand, which has the highest global incidence rates. However, there is a paucity of studies on CCA screening, especially in high-risk populations. This study aimed to investigate the distribution and spatial patterns of CCA in Northeast Thailand over a ten-year screening period.

methodsThe study included CCA patients from the Cholangiocarcinoma Screening and Care Program (CASCAP) between 2013 and 2022, which encompasses 20 provinces and 282 districts in Northeast of Thailand. CCA data were based on pathological diagnosis to determine the distribution and spatial patterns.

resultsOf the 2,515 CCA patients, approximately two-thirds were males (63.98%), and the majority were aged over 55 years (72.72%), with a mean age of 61.12 ± 9.13 years. The highest percentage of CCA cases occurred in 2014 at 19.01% of all patients, followed by 2018 at 15.23%. The overall CCA incidence rate in Northeast Thailand over ten years was 32 per 100,000 population. Hotspot statistical analysis identified high-scoring geographic clusters in the upper and middle regions, showing a tendency to expand from hotspot areas into nearby areas.

conclusionThe distribution of CCA in Northeast Thailand has continued to rise over the past decade, particularly in the upper and middle regions. Targeted screening in high-risk areas and increased awareness of CCA risks are crucial to mitigate its impact.
