Determining the effects of social-environmental factors on the incidence and mortality of lung cancer in China based on remote sensing and GIS technology during 2007-2016.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in China. However, its relationship with social-environmental factors has not been revealed comprehensively. We are the first group to determine cold and hot spots associated with the incidence and mortality of lung cancer (IMLC) in both females and males and their spatiotemporal changes and to explore the social‒environmental burden of lung cancer in China between 2007 and 2016.
methodsThe explanatory powers of various social-environmental factors for the IMLC were evaluated through correlation analysis and the Geodetector tool. Spatial analysis models were applied to determine the relationships between the IMLC and social-environmental factors.
resultsThe results are as follows: (1) The distribution of the IMLC exhibited significant spatial heterogeneity; the Global Moran's index values for incidence ranged from 0.04-0.2 and 0.09-0.33 in males and females, respectively, and the values for mortality ranged from 0.01-0.12 and 0.11-0.32 in males and females, respectively. (2) The IMLC was spatially clustered with an overall positive autocorrelation. Male population-related hot spots were observed in the central-southern region of China, and cold spots were observed in western China. Female population-related hot spots were observed primarily in northeastern China. The cold spots occurred primarily in southern and some western regions of China. (3) The effects of social-environmental factors on the IMLC showed significant spatial and temporal variability: in males, the interaction between terrain undulation and road area exhibited the highest explanatory power for the incidence and mortality, with a value of 0.22 for both; in females, the interaction between O
conclusionsThe influence of each social‒environmental factor on the IMLC showed significant spatiotemporal variability, providing a systematic basis for governments to implement better targeted control of lung cancer.
