Epidemiological evolution of gingival cancer in Spain from 2001 to 2022: a longitudinal study.
Article in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundOver the past decades, the literature has described epidemiological changes in oral cancer. However, few updated studies specifically address this issue, particularly those examining it separately from pharyngeal cancer. Some authors suggest gingival cancer is the only intraoral cancer with a higher prevalence among women. MATERIAL AND
methodsA retrospective longitudinal study was conducted using the Specialized Care Activity Registry from the Minimum Basic Data Set to obtain data on gingival cancer patients in Spain from 2001 to 2022.
resultsData from 5,749 patients showed 51.8% were men and 48.2% women. A final predominance in women was observed. The average recorded age was 68.3 years, increasing in both sexes over time. A low frequency of tobacco and alcohol consumption was noted. The age-adjusted incidence was 0.61, with a convergence between sexes due to increased female incidence.
conclusionsDuring the study period, a reversal in the male-to-female ratio was observed, along with an increase in recorded age, a preference for the mandible over the maxilla, low tobacco and alcohol consumption, and incidence convergence between sexes due to rising female cases.
