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

backgroundThyroid cancer (TC) incidence is rapidly increasing, ranking as the third most common cancer in China. This study aimed to investigate the association between light at night (LAN), air pollutants, and TC risk among the rural population in Fujian Province, China, from 2012 to 2016.

methodsThis study utilized 23,111 first reimbursement records of TC patients from the New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NRCMS) in Fujian Province between 2012 and 2016 to calculate county-level hospitalization rates. The performance of geographically weighted regression (GWR), multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR), and geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) models were compared to identify the best model for investigating the effects of LAN, nitrogen dioxide (NO

resultsTC hospitalization rates exhibited an initial increase followed by a decline, with higher rates in eastern coastal and southern regions. Spatial clustering was observed (Global Moran's I: 0.152-0.284). The GTWR model performed best (R
