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

Background: Updated systematic statistics on lung cancer are the underpinning cornerstones for formulating prevention and control strategies for the disease. The incidence and mortality data of lung cancer in China in 2016 were estimated, and also used to analyze the temporal trends of lung cancer from 2000 up to 2016 in this study. Methods: The burden of lung cancer in China in 2016 was estimated using data from 487 cancer registries, which were abstracted from the database of the National Cancer Center of China (NCC). The temporal trends were estimated with the data of 2000 to 2016 from 22 cancer registries. Results: About 828,100 new lung cancer cases and 657,000 lung cancer deaths were estimated in China in 2016. The crude incidence and mortality rates in the eastern region were the highest nationwide. The incidence and mortality of lung cancer increased with age, and most of the new cases occurred in the age group of over 60 years. The age-standardized incidence increased by about 0.8% per year during 2000 to 2016, especially in woman, whose annual increase rate reached 2.1%. The age-standardized mortality rate decreased by about 0.6% per year, with a decrease of 1.3% per year in urban areas and an increase of 2.3% per year in rural areas. The numbers of new cases and deaths increased by 162.6% and 123.6%, respectively, during 2000 to 2016, which can be explained mainly by the change of the age structure. Conclusions: The burden of lung cancer is serious in China, and increased especially rapidly for women in rural areas. The disease is expected to threaten the lives of more people in the future due to factors such as aging and population growth. Lung cancer prevention and control strategies and resources should be leveraged toward women and rural areas in the future.
