Emerging trends in cervical cancer incidence among younger Taiwanese generations: an urban-rural comparison.
Article in Annals of medicine, 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
backgroundDespite global declines in cervical cancer incidence, certain regions observe unexpected rising trends among younger generations.
methodsThis study uses the age-period-cohort model to examine long-term incidence trends of invasive cervical cancer in Taiwan. Data were sourced from the Taiwan Cancer Registry.
resultsFrom 2000 to 2019, both urban and rural areas of Taiwan saw a marked decrease in incidence rates, a trend largely attributed to the cytology-based screening program introduced in 1995. Yet, rising incidence rates emerged in younger Taiwanese generations, specifically those born post-1975 in urban and post-1980 in rural settings. The 1990-born urban cohort faced a risk 1.9 times higher than their 1975-born counterparts, while the risk for the 1990-born rural cohort was 1.4 times greater than those born in 1980. In addition, post-1980 urban cohorts exhibited greater risks than their rural counterparts.
conclusionsThe rising trends in cervical cancer incidence among younger Taiwanese generations may be influenced by factors such as increased sexual permissiveness and urbanization. Although current prevention efforts, such as human papillomavirus vaccination, are noteworthy, there is a need for ongoing surveillance and improved strategies that specifically target recent cohorts.
