1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeBreast cancer is the most common cancer in Vietnam, yet there are limited data on long-term trends and factors influencing its incidence. This study examines 30-year trends (1991-2020) in breast cancer incidence among women in Hanoi, focusing on age, period, and cohort effects.

methodsData from 28,298 breast cancer cases registered in the Hanoi Cancer Registry between 1991 and 2020 were analyzed. Trend analysis using Joinpoint regression was performed to calculate the average annual percent change (AAPC) in incidence rates, and an age-period-cohort analysis was used to explore underlying trends.

resultsThe age-standardized incidence rate of breast cancer rose from 15.2 per 100,000 in 1991 to 40.6 per 100,000 in 2020, with an overall AAPC of 4.1% (95% CI, 2.9 to 5.4). Women age 70 years and older experienced the highest increase (AAPC, 6.4% [95% CI, 2.5 to 10.4]) compared with those age 40-49 years (AAPC, 2.6% [95% CI, 2.1 to 3.1]). Incidence rates during 2016-2020 were 1.6 times higher than in 2001-2005. Women born between 1976 and 1980 exhibited significantly higher incidence rates compared with earlier cohorts.

conclusionBreast cancer incidence in Hanoi has more than doubled over three decades, with significant age, period, and cohort effects. These findings provide insights for the development of targeted breast cancer control strategies, including tailored screening, prevention efforts, and resource allocation to address the growing burden of this disease in Vietnam.
