Histologic Distribution of Lung and Bronchus Tumors: A Population-Based Study in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
introductionLung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, with cigarette smoking recognized as the most important modifiable risk factor. The distinct smoking rates and occupational landscape in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan underscore the necessity of investigating the multifactorial influences on the prevalence and distribution of lung and bronchus cancer within this population.
methodsThis study, conducted from January 2012 to December 2022, included 1035 patients diagnosed with lung or bronchus tumors who were first seen and/or received the first course of treatment at Upper Peninsula Health Systems (UPHS) - Marquette, the largest hospital system in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and one of only two radiation oncology treatment centers in the Upper Peninsula.
resultsThis study demonstrated that the histologic trend of lung and bronchus cancers in a sample of 1035 patients in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan closely resembles that of national averages. Participants with a lifetime history of smoking made up 943 (91.1%) cases of patients diagnosed with lung or bronchus cancers in this study. Lifetime non-smokers only made up 53 (5.1%) cases of patients diagnosed with lung or bronchus cancers. The median age at diagnosis of participants in this study was 70 years.
conclusionOur study provides significant insights into the histologic distribution of lung and bronchus cancers within the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, addressing a notable gap in the current literature for this rural and medically underserved population. The histologic distribution of lung and bronchus cancers in this region aligns with national trends. Furthermore, the distinct rates of cigarette smoking in the Upper Peninsula emphasize the critical role of smoking cessation efforts in reducing the burden of lung and bronchus cancers in this region.
