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

objectiveResearch on endometrial cancer burden associated with high body mass index (BMI) in China remains limited. This study analyzes the characteristics of high BMI-related endometrial cancer burden in China from 1990 to 2035.

methodsJoinpoint regression was used to analyze trends in age-standardized mortality rates and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). An annual percentage change (APC) model was utilized to analyze the effects of these 3 factors on disease burden. The disease burden trends from 2022 to 2035 were predicted using the Bayesian APC model and the Nordpred model.

resultsFrom 1990 to 2021, the number of endometrial cancer deaths attributable to high BMI in China increased by 196.78%, while DALYs rose by 179.31%. Age-standardized mortality and DALY rates increased by 19.46% and 20.86%, respectively, with average APCs of 0.56 (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.42 to 0.70) and 0.64 (95% CI=0.45 to 0.83). APC analysis revealed an initial increase followed by a decrease in mortality risk and DALYs with advancing age, an N-shaped temporal trend, and reduced burden among later birth cohorts. The Bayesian APC model projected that by 2035, the number of deaths and DALYs would increase by 158.10% and 126.89%, respectively, compared to 2021. A sensitivity analysis using the Nordpred model confirmed this upward trend.

conclusionChina faces a growing disease burden from endometrial cancer attributable to high BMI, with projections indicating a continued increase. These findings underscore the critical need for public health interventions focused on BMI management to prevent endometrial cancer, particularly among high-risk populations.
