Temporal Trends of Colorectal Cancer Burden in India: A Nationwide and State-Level Analysis.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionColorectal cancer (CRC) ranks third among cancers globally, posing a significant public health issue. This study aimed to analyze CRC incidence, mortality, and risk factors across India from 1990 to 2021 using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.
methodsWe utilized GBD 2021 data, analyzing age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), age-standardized death rates (ASDR), and annual percentage changes (APC) for CRC across India's 31 states. Statistical modeling, including two sample t-tests, was done.
resultsIn 2021, India reported 69,409 CRC cases (ASIR: 5.69 per 100,000) and 54,018 deaths (ASDR: 4.60 per 100,000). Both ASIR and ASDR showed increases from 1990 to 2021, highest in adults aged 85+, although these trends were not statistically significant. Mizoram reported the highest incidence rate. Behavioral risks accounted for the largest proportion of CRC deaths (38.85% [95% UI: 24.71-50.32]), particularly diets low in milk (19.16% [95% UI: 5.28-30.72]). High BMI contributed to 4.17% of CRC deaths and showed the highest increase from 1990 to 2021 (+127.47%).
conclusionThe rising incidence and mortality of CRC in India highlight the need for targeted public health interventions emphasizing dietary changes, improved screening, and healthcare infrastructure.
