Association between household coal use duration and upper gastrointestinal cancer and precancerous lesions: a cross-sectional study.

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: To explore the association between household coal use duration and upper gastrointestinal cancer and precancerous lesions. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. The research subjects were selected from those in Lucheng District and Pingshun County of Shanxi Province who participated in the upper gastrointestinal cancer screening and had complete data. The demographic characteristics, disease history, lifestyle, and household coal usage were collected through standardized questionnaires. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the association between the duration of household coal usage and upper gastrointestinal cancer and precancerous lesions. Subgroup analysis was conducted based on age, gender, region, smoking status, and alcohol consumption. Sensitivity analysis was used to verify the robustness of the results. Results: A total of 55,820 participants were included, including 783 cases with upper gastrointestinal cancer and precancerous lesions and 55,037 controls. After adjustment for potential confounders, a positive association was observed between the duration of household coal use and upper gastrointestinal cancer and precancerous lesions (OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.05-1.24, Conclusions: A positive association was observed between the duration of household coal use and upper gastrointestinal cancer and precancerous lesions. Given the cross-sectional nature of this study, causal inferences cannot be established. Prospective studies are warranted to further validate these findings.
