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

backgroundSkin cancer shows geographic and ethnic variation. New Zealand-with a predominantly fair-skinned populations, high UV indices and outdoor lifestyles-has high rates of skin cancer. However, population prevalence data is lacking. This study aimed to determine the demographics and socioeconomic disease trends of non-melanoma skin cancer prevalence in New Zealand from a large targeted-screening study.

methodsA targeted screening programme was conducted among 32,839 individuals, Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV in Auckland, New Zealand during the 2008-2022 period. This data was analyzed retrospectively. Linear regression models were used to assess statistical trends of skin cancer prevalence over time, along with associated factors that included demographics, disease trends and overall prevalence.

resultsA total of 32,839 individuals were screened and 11,625 skin cancers were detected. 16,784 individuals were females who had 4,378 skin cancers. 16,055 individuals were males who had 5,777 skin cancers. 54 males and 65 females had multiple skin cancers. The article presents detailed descriptions of tumour types and subtypes detected, age groups, demographic and socioeconomic information. regarding the non-melanoma skin cancers detected.

conclusionOverall men have more non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) than females; however females develop more BCC on the lips. BCC is three times more common in the 31-50 age group, whereas SCC are significantly more prevalent after age 80. Prevalence of BCC has not changed over the 15-year timeframe of the study but SCC has increased. Older ages and higher incomes are associated with higher rates of NMSC in New Zealand.
