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 and Aims: Gynecological cancers are a major global health burden, with ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers being the most common types. Despite rising national incidence rates, recent comprehensive data for Gilan Province remain limited. This study investigated the incidence trends of gynecological cancers in Gilan Province, Northern Iran, from 2014 to 2018. Methods: A repeated cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Cancer Registry and Guilan University of Medical Sciences. Newly diagnosed cases of gynecological cancers were identified and classified according to ICD-O-3. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA for age group comparisons, and joinpoint regression to evaluate trends. Results: A total of 1058 cases were analyzed. The overall incidence rate rose by 98.2% over 5 years from 2014 to 2018, increasing from 10.72 to 21.25 cases per 100,000 individuals. The mean age of patients was 55.43 ± 3.63 years, showing no significant variation over time. Ovarian cancer was the most common type of gynecological cancer (42%), followed by corpus uteri (29.5%) and cervical cancer (15.2%), with 5-year incidence rates of 35.15, 24.7, and 12.73 cases per 100,000 individuals, respectively. Joinpoint regression suggested significant annual increases in both crude (APC = 19.19%, Conclusion: The incidence of gynecological cancers in Gilan province almost doubled during the study period, highlighting a substantial public health concern linked to long-term burden and mortality rates. Interventions should prioritize community-wide education, timely referrals, expanded access to diagnostic services, and enhanced awareness of early symptoms.
