Estimated Cancer Incidence in Northern Tunisia in 2023: Northern Tunisia Cancer Registry.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundCancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Tunisia. The objectives of our study were to estimate the incidence level of the main cancer sites in Northern Tunisia in 2023 and to dress projections till 2040.
methodsThe population based cancer registry database of northern Tunisia was the source of cases of this study. This registry uses the active method to collect data from all health services that cover cancer patients of both public and private sectors. Incidence rate projections were established using the age-period-cohort model.
resultsIn 2023, according to our estimations, age standardized incidence rate (ASR) including skin cancers other than melanoma was of 165.9 /100,000 in males and 141.4/100,000 in females. In men, the five most common cancer locations (apart from the skin) were: lung with an ASR of 37.6/100,000 habitant, colorectal (29.4/100,000), bladder (24.1/100,000), prostate (15.2/100,000) and stomach (6.0/100,000). Concerning females, the top five locations (apart from the skin) were: breast (55.4/100,000), colorectal (23.0/100,000), corpus uteri (9.3/100,000), thyroid (9.0/100,000) and lung (5.8/100,000). By 2040, the incidence rates of colorectal cancer would reach more than the double in both genders. The ASR of lung and bladder cancers in males would be increasing; however, that of stomach cancer would be stable next decades. In females, while incidence rates of breast, thyroid and corpus uteri cancers would reach more than the double in 2040, cervical cancer incidence is expected to be stable next decades.
conclusionCancer incidence level in Northern Tunisia place the country in an intermediate level and projections seem to be worrying. Strengthening prevention, screening and early diagnosis are strongly recommended.
