Spatial distribution of acute myeloid leukaemia in Denmark.
Article in Environmental health : a global access science source, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAlthough various occupational and environmental exposures are suspected risk factors for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), the aetiology of AML is largely unknown. We present an analysis of the spatial distribution of AML in Denmark on an unprecedented, detailed scale. Such investigations have the potential to uncover geographical areas of increased risk, which may in turn be tied to environmental or occupational exposures.
methodsIndividuals diagnosed with AML during 2000-2020 were obtained from the Danish National Acute Leukaemia Registry and assigned to a parish based on their residence six months prior to diagnosis. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) by parish was calculated as the ratio between the age- and sex-standardised incidence rate and the national incidence rate. The IRRs were smoothed using a spatial Poisson distributed generalised linear mixed model with a conditional autoregressive correlation structure. Parishes with a smoothed IRR > 1.10 with a posterior probability > 75% were considered to have an increased risk of AML.
resultsThe study included 5,177 AML cases. The spatial model showed a homogeneous distribution of AML in Denmark with no parishes having an increased risk.
conclusionThe study indicates that the risk of developing AML in Denmark is not affected by place of residence, suggesting that if an unknown environmental or occupational risk factor is present, it does not seem to be associated with specific areas.
