Pattern of cancers among adolescents and young adults seen at a radiation oncology clinic in Nigeria.

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: Cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYAs; ages 15-39 years) differ from those in children and older adults. AYAs with cancers have received less research focus over the years despite their unique medical, psychological, socioeconomic and sexual concerns. The burden of cancer among this age group in Nigeria is unknown. This study aims to determine the pattern of cancers in AYAs seen in a radiation oncology clinic in Nigeria. Method: A retrospective study among AYAs (15-39 years) with cancer who presented at a Radiation Oncology Clinic in Nigeria between January 2018 and December 2023. Results: There were 529 new cancer cases among AYAs, accounting for 14.1% of all cancer cases seen during the period. The male-to-female ratio was 1:3. The majority (72.8%) were in the 30-39 age range, with a mean age of 32.06 ± 6.18 years. Females had a higher mean age (33.01 ± 5.31 years) than males (29.43 ± 7.57 years) ( Conclusion: AYAs accounted for 14.1% of all new cancer cases. Breast cancer was the most common cancer among female AYAs, while bone and soft tissue cancers were the most common among males.
