Epidemiology of Burden of Prostate Cancer in Iran during 2009-2019: Estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.
Article in Iranian journal of medical sciences, 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
Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common cancer in men and the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. The purpose of this study is to investigate the epidemiological situation concerning the incidence, prevalence, and burden of prostate cancer in Iran from 2009 to 2019. Methods: The present research is a descriptive-analytical study. To assess the spatial distribution of prostate cancer, data on the incidence, mortality, Disability-adjusted life years (DALY), Years of Life Lost due to premature mortality (YLL), and Years of Life Lost due to disability (YLD) in each province of Iran from 2009 to 2019 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 website. The incidence and mortality zoning in Iran was mapped using the ArcGIS 10.3 environment. The two-variable Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data extracted to study the correlation between PC and the Human Development Index. Results: The highest Age-Standardized Incidence Rate (ASIR) of prostate cancer (40.55 per 100,000), mortality (17.09 per 100,000), YLL (254.1 per 100,000), YLD (23.88 per 100,000), and DALY (277.98 per 100,000) is related to Bushehr province. The results of the Pearson correlation reveal a positive and statistically significant correlation between the ASIR of prostate cancer and the Human Development Index (r=0.651, P=0.0001) in Iran. The highest Percentage of Annual Changes (PAC) in ASIR, Age-Standardized Mortality Rate (ASMR), Age-Standardized Prevalence Rate (ASPR), YLL, YLD, and DALY were related to the provinces of West Azarbayejan (62.9%), Golestan (30.86%), West Azarbayejan (87.66%), Golestan (29.38%), West Azarbayejan (76.95%), and Alborz (31.45%), respectively. Conclusion: The incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer in all provinces of the country are on the rise. Therefore, screening programs for early detection to reduce the mortality of the disease, and etiology studies to identify the causes of increased incidence and related factors, can be effective in controlling this cancer in the country.
