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
Background: Gynaecological cancers, which affect the female genital tract, constitute a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries. Some of these malignancies have known aetiology and premalignant stages making them preventable. Understanding the burden of gynaecological malignancies in our environment will provide baseline information and help form strategies for their control. Aim: To describe the histological subtypes of gynaecological cancers, their frequency and age distribution trends in Katsina State over the 10-year study period. Methods: This was a 10-year retrospective cross-sectional multicenter study of all histologically diagnosed gynaecological cancer cases seen from 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2021 at Federal Teaching Hospital Katsina, General Hospital Katsina and General Amadi Rimi Specialist Hospital Katsina. Data for this study were extracted from departmental record registers of the pathology laboratories of the corresponding hospitals whose laboratories provide pathology services to the State. Cancer distribution over the years was sorted based on the primary site of diagnosis, histological diagnosis and age. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science version 28 and results were presented in tables and charts. Results: Two thousand three hundred and fifty-nine cancers were seen over the 10-year study period. Of these cases, 58.4% ( Conclusion: This study demonstrated the various histotypes of gynaecological malignancies and their trends in Katsina state. The leading cancer was found to be cervical cancer which is mainly preventable. It is hoped that data from this study will provide a basis for making and implementing policies and strategies to lessen the problems of gynaecological malignancies through regular screening programs, especially for cervical cancer and accepting human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination take-up.
