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

backgroundOvarian cancer is the eighth most common cancer globally, with environmental and occupational exposures emerging as critical determinants of ovarian carcinogenesis. Despite accumulating evidence, comprehensive global assessments of the burden of ovarian cancer attributable to these risks remain limited, especially among women aged 20-49 years.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021 to evaluate the global burden of ovarian cancer associated with environmental risks and occupational risks among females aged 20-49 years from 1990 to 2021. Outcomes included deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs). Temporal trends were analyzed using linear regression models, and future projections to 2050 were generated using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and exponential smoothing (ES) models.

resultsIn 2021, ovarian cancer linked to environmental risks among females aged 20-49 years resulted in 38 deaths (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 17-69) and 1786 DALYs (95% UI: 781-3233). The age-standardized DALYs rate (ASDAR) was 0.09 per 100,000 population (95% UI: 0.04-0.16). Similar results were observed for occupational risks. From 1990 to 2021, the number of cases and age-standardized rates (ASRs) for ovarian cancer linked to both environmental and occupational risks initially increased and then declined. Regionally, high-middle Sociodemographic Index (SDI) regions exhibited peak ASRs, while middle and low-middle SDI regions showed increasing trends. Projections from 2022 to 2050 indicated an upward trend in the number of cases using the ARIMA model, with decreasing trends for ASDR and ASYLLR.

conclusionOur study highlights the significant burden of ovarian cancer associated with environmental and occupational risks among women aged 20-49 years. The observed trends underscore the need for continued investment in prevention and control strategies, particularly in regions with high ASRs.
