Lip, Oral Cavity, and Pharyngeal Cancers: Global Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Prevention: A Narrative Review.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Lip, oral cavity, and pharyngeal cancers (LOPC) are malignancies arising in the lip, oral cavity, and pharyngeal tissues, often asymptomatic in early stages. We aimed to perform a narrative review of the literature on the global LOPC epidemiology, economic burden, risk factors, as well as preventive strategies. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed and Google Scholar up to June 2024, using keywords related to lip, oral, and pharyngeal cancers. Results: There are several risk factors for these cancers, including tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, low socioeconomic status, dietary factors (high meat and low fruits or vegetables consumption), genetics, radiation exposure, demographic factors, poor oropharyngeal health, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, occupational exposures, and other factors, such as family history of cancer. Preventive strategies such as increasing public awareness, promoting routine dental check-ups, and expanding HPV vaccination coverage can play a role in reducing the burden of these cancers. Conclusion: LOPC remain a significant global health issue due to high incidence and mortality rates and various modifiable risk factors. Effective strategies targeting these factors, along with continued research on prevention and innovative treatments, are essential to reduce this burden and improve public health outcomes.
