Article in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 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
Background: Cancer is one of the diseases affecting the elderly and can lead to loss of life years. The skin, breast, gastric, colorectal, and lung cancers are five prevalent cancers in the elderly. The present study was conducted to evaluate the incidence and burden of these cancers in the elderly. Methods: This secondary study was conducted on available extracted data from the population-based cancer registry in Markazi province in 2019. The data of all cases older than 60 years that lived more than six months in Markazi province were extracted. Collecting information involves gathering data on cancer incidence and death rates based on age and sex groups, as well as overall mortality rates. This also includes survival rates, recovery rates for cancer patients, and disability attributed to cancer using the global burden of disease (GBD) standard table from various sources. Various data, including the latest death registration report and the latest cancer registration report for 2019 and the Iran Statistics Center, were obtained. In order to check and analyze the data, Excel and DISMOD2 software were used. In order to analyze the data, formulas for calculating the burden of diseases (DALY=YLL+YLD) were used. For the validity and reliability of the data, the method of preventing the registration of impossible codes and useless codes was used. Results: The incidence rate of skin, breast, gastric, colorectal, and lung cancers in elderly women was 52.87, 59.02, 67.63, 47.95, and 20.90, respectively, per 100000. DALYs of these cancers in elderly women were 63.15, 423.86, 686.37, 366.49, and 385.18, respectively. The incidence rate of skin, gastric, colorectal, and lung cancers in elderly men was 100.84, 135.80, 49.74, and 68.57, respectively per 100000. DALYs of these cancers in elderly men were 342.31, 1117.01, 337.99, and 452.41, respectively. The highest YLL and YLD were related to gastric cancer (493.31/100,000) and breast cancer (220.84/100,000). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the incidence, mortality, and DALY of skin, breast, stomach, colorectal and lung cancers were higher in the elderly. In this study, the burden of some cancers such as breast, was lower compared to provinces such as Yazd.
