1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Explore the changes in the burden of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) caused by occupational formaldehyde exposure from 1990 to 2021, and predict its development trend up to 2050, to provide references for formulating relevant policies and measures. Methods: Using the Global Burden of Disease database 2021 (GBD 2021), we counted and analyzed the numbers and standardized rates of NPC deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) caused by occupational formaldehyde exposure globally, in 21 regions, and in 204 countries. Combined with correlation analysis, health inequality analysis, and frontier analysis, we further comprehensively described the disease burden and its changing trends. In addition, we used the Bayesian age-period-cohort model to predict the disease burden from 2022 to 2050. Results: From 1990 to 2021 and from 2022 to 2050, the global disease burden of NPC caused by occupational formaldehyde exposure shows a downward trend. In terms of gender, the disease burden is higher among men than among women. From the perspective of the socio-demographic index (SDI), the disease burden is most severe in regions with lower SDI. Geographically, there are significant differences in the disease burden among different countries and regions, with South Asia, East Asia, and Africa having the highest disease burden. In addition, in terms of age distribution, the disease burden is relatively higher among middle-aged people, especially those aged 45-49. Conclusions: From 1990 to 2021, the disease burden of NPC caused by global occupational formaldehyde exposure showed a downward trend, and the regional burden decreased with the increase of SDI.
