Infection-driven cancers in Asia: implications from epidemiological transitions.
Review in The Lancet regional health. Western Pacific, 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
Gastric, liver, and cervical cancers account for a disproportionate share of the global cancer burden, particularly in Asia, where infection-related cancers remain a major public health challenge. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the epidemiological transition of these cancers and their implications for cancer control in Asia. Updated population-attributable fractions and other epidemiological evidence indicate a declining contribution of infections to overall cancer incidence, reflecting ongoing epidemiological transitions. While prevention of infection-driven cancers in Asia requires pathogen-specific strategies, they should be adapted to the changing epidemiological patterns. Population-wide
