Trends in the Age-Adjusted Incidence of Head and Neck Cancer in South Korea Over the Past 20 Years.
Article in Clinical and experimental otorhinolaryngology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to calculate the age-adjusted incidence rate of head and neck cancer (HNC) in South Korea from 1999 to 2020 and to analyze HNC incidence trends while excluding the effects of population aging.
methodsData were obtained from the Cancer Registration Statistics Program. All 12 types of HNCs were analyzed. Crude incidence rates and the number of new cases from 1999 to 2020 were presented by sex and age group. Age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated using the World Standard Population (World Health Organization [WHO] 2000-2025), and trends were assessed.
resultsAlthough the crude incidence rates of all HNCs increased steadily from 1999 to 2020, the absolute values remained low in most cases, at less than 2 per 100,000. The male-to-female ratio was 1 or higher for all HNCs except thyroid cancer, and 10 or higher for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers. Age-adjusted incidence trends showed a gradual increase for tongue cancer, tonsil cancer, major salivary gland cancer, and thyroid cancer, a decrease for laryngeal cancer, and no significant change for the remaining HNCs.
conclusionExcluding the effects of population aging, tongue cancer, tonsil cancer, major salivary gland cancer, and thyroid cancer have increased in South Korea over the past 20 years, while laryngeal cancer has decreased.
