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

High-quality cancer data are fundamental for public health research and policy, but cancer data for small geographic units and population subgroups in the United States are rarely available due to small-sample suppression rules, spatial coarsening, and data incompleteness. These limitations hinder high-resolution spatial analyses and precision public health interventions. This study provides a high-resolution cancer incidence dataset for the U.S., generated through a multi-constraint Monte Carlo simulation framework that reconstructs suppressed county-level cancer data and systematically disaggregates them to ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs), guided by demographic constraints. This method integrates population subgroup structures and macro-level incidence rates as constraints, ensuring consistency and reliability across spatial scales. The resulting dataset spans multiple geographic units, from state and county levels to ZCTAs, enabling comprehensive analyses of cancer burden, in-depth spatial analyses, and precision public health interventions across multiple scales.
