Trends in Melanoma Mortality in Serbia: A 22-Year Population-Based Study.
Article in Iranian journal of public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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: We aimed to investigating the sex-specific and age-specific melanoma mortality trends observed on the territory of Serbia between 2000 and 2021. Methods: This population-based study used data from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia database during the period 2000-2021. The calculation of the gender and age-standardized rates (ASR) was performed. We used a regression analysis complete with linear trend model. Results: The mean ASR was 1.77 per 100,000 people, meaning that male mortality rates (2.24 per 100,000) was higher than female mortality rates (1.34 per 100,000). During the observation period, a rising trend in mortality from melanoma skin cancer was reported. Observed by gender, the change of melanoma mortality trend was significant in men ( Conclusion: Our study findings underline the importance of launching more effective public health awareness campaigns to educate people about the dangers of melanoma and its symptoms' detection along with establishing a diagnosis at an early stage of the disease, especially among male patients and those at an advanced age.
