Epidemiology of colorectal cancer: A review with special emphasis on India.
Review in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy and cause for death around the world. In India, it ranks as the fourth most incident cancer in both sexes, with 64,863 cases and 38,367 deaths in 2022. With such high mortality, CRC survival in India is way lesser than that of developed countries. While western countries are facing an overall decline in CRC incidence, various regions in India are seeing an increasing trend. Within India, urban regions have markedly higher incidence than rural. Risk factors include consumption of red and processed meat, fried and sugary food, smoking and alcohol, comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), family history of CRC, adenomas and genetic syndromes, radiation exposure, pesticides and asbestos. Consumption of nutrient-rich well-balanced diets abundant in vegetables, dairy products, whole grains, nuts and legumes combined with physical activity are protective against CRC. Besides these, metformin, aspirin and micronutrient supplements were inversely associated with the development of CRC. Since a considerable proportion of CRC burden is attributed to modifiable risk factors, execution of population level preventive strategies is essential to limit the growing burden of CRC. Identifying the necessity, in this review, we explore opportunities for primary prevention and for identifying high-risk populations of CRC to control its burden in the near future.
