A Retrospective Epidemiological Study of Mesothelioma in the United States (1999-2020) Based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) Data.

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
introductionMesothelioma is a rare malignancy of the serous membranes, most commonly the pleura. Variations and demographic trends in mesothelioma incidence form the basis of this study. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective study was conducted on August 30, 2024, using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database. The study analyzed age, gender, and race of mortality among mesothelioma patients in the United States from 1999 to 2020.
resultsThere was a significant increase in the incidence of mesothelioma from 1999, peaking in 2011, followed by a gradual decline. Incidence was higher among individuals aged ≥75 years, men, and the White population.
conclusionsThis study highlights the higher incidence of mesothelioma in individuals aged ≥75 years compared to younger age groups, in men compared to women, and in White populations compared to other races. Overall, the incidence increased from 1999 to 2010, peaked in 2011, and declined thereafter through 2020.
