Common Risk Factors in Gastrointestinal Cancers: A Narrative Review.
Review in Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
<p>Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are among the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, presenting a significant public health challenge. Even with medical research advancements, their incidence remains rising due to modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors across lifestyle, environmental, genetic, and socioeconomic factors. This narrative review identifies and synthesizes key risk factors contributing to GI cancers, including unhealthy diets (high consumption of processed foods, red meat, and added sugars), physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, alcohol use, infections (e.g., Helicobacter pylori), environmental pollution, chronic stress, and socioeconomic disparities. The review emphasizes the interaction among these factors and how this interplay is responsible for the development and progression of GI cancer. It emphasizes the importance of early detection, lifestyle modifications, and public health interventions tailored to specific populations. Understanding these interconnected risk factors provides critical insights for guiding prevention strategies, policymaking, and health education. Addressing modifiable risk factors through a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach may significantly reduce the global burden of GI cancers and improve long-term health outcomes. </p>.
