Cancer pattern in Bhutan (2014-2022): Findings from population-based cancer registry-A pathway to monitor cancer control activities.
Article in International journal of cancer, 2026. 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
Population-based cancer registry (PBCR) of Bhutan was established in Jigme Dorji Wangchuk National Referral Hospital (JDWNRH) in 2014 with the support of the Ministry of Health (Bhutan) and IARC Regional Hub, Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), Mumbai, India. This PBCR provides nationwide coverage (0.7 million population). We aim to present the cancer patterns in Bhutan for the years 2014-2022 using PBCR data. Trained registry staff collect cancer patient information by visiting various sources such as hospitals and diagnostic facilities. Data is entered into CanReg5 software. Data quality and consistency are checked by the IARC Regional Hub-TMC, Mumbai. The age-specific rate and age-adjusted rate were calculated using CanReg5 software. In the 9-year period (2014-2022), the PBCR registered 5906 incidence cancer cases, of which 2659 (45%) were males and 3247 (55%) were females. The age-adjusted incidence rate for males and females was 88.3 and 113.2 per 100,000 population, respectively. Age-adjusted mortality rates for males and females were 42.7 and 44.6 per 100,000 population, respectively. The leading cancer sites among males are stomach, esophagus, liver, lung, and rectum, and for females, cervix uteri, stomach, breast, lung, and thyroid. Cancer registry will play a pivotal role in boosting and monitoring screening program initiatives in Bhutan. Through effective linkages, it will build a robust database providing a cancer profile of the Bhutanese population which can be employed to devise effective cancer control activities in Bhutan.
