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: Tracheal, bronchial, and lung (TBL) cancer attributable to environmental and behavioral exposures remains a major global health concern. However, evidence on long-term trends, inequalities, and future burden among women remains limited. This study used Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2023 data to address these gaps. Methods: We analyzed female TBL cancer data from the GBD 2023 (1990-2023) to assess mortality and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) patterns associated with five rountine inhalation-related risk factors. We further evaluated associations with the socio-demographic index (SDI) using smoothing and deviation analyses, quantified SDI-related inequalities through concentration indices, decomposed burden changes by demographic and epidemiological factors, and projected the burden to 2030. Results: In 2023, smoking remained the leading contributor to female TBL cancer mortality, followed by ambient particulate matter and secondhand smoke. Between 1990 and 2023, mortality attributable to household solid fuel declined most markedly, whereas mortality related to particulate matter increased slightly. Comparable trends were observed for DALYs. Marked cross-country and regional heterogeneity was observed by risk factors, with China standing out for particulate matter-related burden. Along socio-demographic gradients, burdens from radon and tobacco-related hazards rose with SDI alongside elevated concentration indices, whereas solid fuel burdens declined with increasingly negative concentration indices, and particulate matter displayed a rising burden but diminishing inequality. Population growth and aging drove increases in burdens from particulate matter, radon, and tobacco, whereas epidemiological change reduced solid fuel-related burden. By 2030, burdens attributable to particulate matter, radon, and secondhand smoke are projected to continue increasing, whereas the burden related to solid fuel is expected to decline. Although the number of smoking-related cases is projected to increase, the corresponding rate is expected to decrease. Conclusions: Our findings underscore the need to prioritize surveillance of inhalation-related hazards for female TBL cancer, especially in resource-limited and rapidly developing regions beyond traditionally industrialized settings.
