Increasing Cervical Cancer Rates Among Women Age 35-54 Years in Canada: Age-Specific Cervical Cancer Incidence Trends in Canada, 1992-2022.
Article in JCO oncology advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThe vast majority of cervical cancer is preventable through human papillomavirus vaccination and screening with cytology or DNA testing. After decades of progress, recent cervical cancer trends in Western populations show a plateau or modest increase in incidence rates. Further investigation is required to understand the drivers of these emerging trends. In this study, we examined age-specific cervical cancer incidence rates in Canada from 1992 to 2022.
methodsData were obtained from the Canadian Cancer Registry maintained by Statistics Canada, which included cancer cases, population counts, and incidence rates of cervical cancer by age and province for the period 1992 to 2022. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to estimate temporal incidence trends across age groups.
resultsCervical cancer incidence rates in Canada decreased among women age 25-34 years and those 65 years and older since 1992. Incidence rates among women age 35-44 years and 45-54 years have increased by 1.1% (95% CI, 0.5 to 2.5) and 1.6% (95% CI, -0.1 to 8.6) per year since 2001 and 2012, respectively. In 2022, the highest incidence rate of cervical cancer was among women age 35-44 years (18.1 per 100,000 women), which is comparable with rates in 1992.
conclusionCervical cancer incidence rates have been increasing in recent years among women age 35-54 years. This cohort may be falling into a cancer prevention gap. Targeted public health interventions are warranted to address the rising incidence of cervical cancer among this cohort of Canadian women.
