External ambient radiation exposure and cancer mortality trends around Qinshan nuclear power plant phase I: long-term study before and after service extension.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
This study evaluates the ambient external radiation levels and their association with public health around the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant (QNPP) before and after the extended service of its Phase I project. By monitoring the cumulative ambient external exposure around QNPP from 2010 to 2023 and analyzing the health data of residents in Haiyan County from 2012 to 2022, changes in cancer mortality-related rates were examined. Results showed that during the study period, ambient radiation around QNPP remained at background levels. Although the annual cumulative ambient dose increased after the extended service, the annual effective dose and excess risk still remained well below the standard limits. From 2012 to 2022, the crude cancer mortality rate and age-standardized mortality rate among residents living near QNPP were slightly higher than the average levels in Zhejiang Province, with males having higher rates than females. However, an overall non-statistically significant downward temporal trend was observed (ASMRC: APC=-7.0, 95% CI: -14.6-1.3,
