Occupations and Risk of Head and Neck Cancers: A Case-Control Study in Tanzania.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cancer is a major global health concern. Head and neck cancers are the sixth most prevalent type of cancer globally; it has been suggested that these cancers can be caused due to pesticide exposure during agricultural activities. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether agricultural labor is associated with an increased risk of head and neck cancers. A case-control study was performed in Ocean Road Cancer Institute in Tanzania: a national, specialized cancer hospital. A total of 298 head and neck cases and 305 controls were included. Occupational history and information about lifestyle factors and diet were obtained by interview. Using logistic regression analyses and adjusting for lifestyle and diet, an increased risk of head and neck cancer was found among workers with a history of agricultural work, with an odds ratio of 2.6 and a 95% confidence interval of 1.60-4.37. When including only non-smokers and non-alcohol users (
