Characterizing the Burden of Tobacco-Associated Cancers in Oklahoma: A Demographic and Geographic Perspective, 2018-2022.
Article in The Journal of the Oklahoma State Medical Association. 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
Background: Despite declining national smoking rates, Oklahoma continues to experience high tobacco use, particularly among groups such as American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) and rural populations. Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of cancer, and tobacco-related cancer incidence remains a significant public health concern in Oklahoma. Methods: Articles were selected through a structured literature search and narratively summarized by key study characteristics and results. We then analyzed tobacco-related cancer incidence data from the Oklahoma Central Cancer Registry (1999-2022), focusing on cancers identified by the CDC as tobacco-related. Rates were age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population. We assessed trends using Joinpoint regression and stratified findings by age, sex, race/ethnicity, rurality, and insurance status. Results: Between 2018 and 2022, 48,552 tobacco-related cancer cases were reported in Oklahoma, comprising 42% of all cancers. The age-adjusted incidence rate (AAIR) was 278.0 per 100,000. Males (253.5) had higher rates than females (161.3). The highest AAIR was among NH AI/AN individuals (257.5), with 52% of their cancers tobacco-related. Lung, colorectal, and kidney cancers were the most common tobacco-related cancers. Rural areas had higher incidence rates than their urban counterparts. Tobacco-related cancer rates declined over time (APC -0.55%, Conclusions: Tobacco-related cancers remain prevalent in Oklahoma, especially among males, rural, and AI/AN populations. Although incidence is declining, disparities persist. These findings underscore the ongoing need for targeted tobacco control efforts to address inequities and reduce cancer burden.
