Implementing cancer prevention strategies in India: progress, persistent challenges and future directions.
Article in Ecancermedicalscience, 2025. 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
Cancer is a major and growing global health crisis, placing an immense and escalating burden on the health systems of developing countries like India. Given the substantial resources demanded by curative management, a strategic investment in comprehensive cancer prevention and control becomes not merely prudent but imperative. India faces a high incidence of tobacco and lifestyle-related cancers, which are largely preventable through robust public health approaches, including tobacco control, cessation support and Human Papilloma Virus vaccination. This narrative review critically assesses the status of cancer prevention and control services in India, highlighting key achievements, inherent challenges and potential threats to progress. While India's National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases has initiated population-based cancer screening and expanded regional cancer centers, actual gains have been limited. This is due to implementation delays, suboptimal technical capacity and resource limitations in preventive services. Despite notable successes in areas like the cancer registry network, tobacco control legislation and the establishment of the National Cancer Grid, a consolidated and strategically implemented plan to effectively mitigate the projected increase in cancer burden remains a significant challenge.
