Spatial analysis of risk factors related to colorectal cancer in Iran: An ecological study.
Article in Health science reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, accounting for 10% of cancer deaths. Therefore, this study was performed with the aim of spatial analysis of risk factors for colorectal cancer in Iran. Method: This study was conducted ecologically using STEPS information (The WHO Stepwise Approach to NCD Risk Factor Surveillance) in Iran. To analyze the data, the researcher used cluster analysis and Geographically Weighted Regression methods with the help of ArcGIS version 10. Results: The results of OLS analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between tobacco consumption ( Conclusion: This study showed that (CC) high-risk areas are located in central and northern parts of Iran, and the significant risk factors related to CC and RC were found to be tobacco use, cigarette smoking, and abdominal obesity. These findings are helpful to inform policymakers to plan screening services to reduce CC and RC, especially in high-risk populations.
