Trends in the Incidence and Mortality of Tobacco-Related Cancers Among Adults in the United States.
Article in Cancers, 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
backgroundTobacco use remains a global challenge to public health, accounting for almost eight million deaths per year worldwide, with a significant portion attributable to tobacco-related cancers. Examining the epidemiology of tobacco-related cancers and assessing the trends in the incidence and mortality will allow for more effective prevention, treatment, and targeted strategies.
methodsWe assessed the trends in the incidence and mortality of tobacco-related cancers among adults in the United States using data from United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) 2001-2021 and mortality data 1975-2022 from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The incidence and mortality rates of tobacco-related cancers were calculated as cases per 1,000,000 persons and age-adjusted to the 2000 United States standard population.
resultsThere was a recent overall decreasing trend in both the incidence (2001-2021) and mortality rate (2001-2022). Among adults 20-49 years old, there was an increasing trend from 2001 to 2021 in the incidence among non-Hispanic American Indians/Alaska Natives (APC 2.6, 95% CI 2.1-3.0) and those in the West (APC 0.2, 95% CI 0.0-0.4); in Hispanics, the incidence rate increased most recently from 2013 to 2021 (APC 1.7, 95% CI 1.0-3.0). The mortality rate first increased from 1975 to 1990 among females 50-64 years old and males 65+ years old and from 1975 to 2000 among females 65+ years old, and then decreased thereafter.
conclusionsThe rising incidence in some younger groups highlights the need for targeted public health interventions to address disparities and improve cancer prevention in these vulnerable populations.
