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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate annual and seasonal trends, as well as regional differences, in female breast cancer mortality in Hungary between 2004 and 2023.

methodsData on cancer mortality were obtained from the publicly available nationwide population register. Poisson and quasi-Poisson regression models were applied to investigate the annual trend in breast cancer mortality rates. Cyclic trends in mortality were analysed using the Walter-Elwood method, and regional differences in age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs) were evaluated across Hungarian regions.

resultsOver the two decades studied, a total of 42,779 deaths from breast cancer were recorded. A significant declining trend in annual ASMRs for female breast cancer was observed during the study period (IRR = 0.996; 95% CI [0.993-0.998];

conclusionsAlthough Hungary has implemented a free national breast cancer screening programme, this study demonstrates that breast cancer mortality remains high in the country. Additionally, breast cancer mortality exhibits significant regional and seasonal variation. These findings underscore the need for targeted public health interventions and optimised resource allocation to improve outcomes.
