Disproportionately Increased Incidence of Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer in the North Yorkshire Region: A UK Tertiary Centre Study.
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
Globally, the incidence of anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) has followed a stable trend. However, over the past decade, we have observed a marked rise in the number of cases in the North Yorkshire region of the United Kingdom. Our study aimed to explore the incidence, demographics, and geographical distribution of ATC in this region over a 12-year period. We retrieved the clinical records of all patients with ATC in our centre from 2010 to 2022 and determined the incidence, demographics, and geographical spread of the data. 20 patients were diagnosed with ATC within the data collection period, with an average annual incidence of 14 per 10,000,000 of the entire North Yorkshire population (35 per 10,000,000 age-adjusted incidence rate). There was a clustering of data around the North Yorkshire region centre. The incidence of ATC in North Yorkshire was geometrically higher than the national average of 1.7 per 10,000,000. The geographical clustering around the region's centre was likely explained by its higher population density.
