Spatiotemporal Epidemiology of Female Thyroid Cancer: A Retrospective Population-Based Registry Study in the Hamadan Province, Iran (2010-2019).
Article in Archives of Iranian medicine, 2025. 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
backgroundThyroid cancer (TC) incidence varies regionally in Iran, with a notable increase observed in females. However, region-specific spatiotemporal epidemiological data are limited. This study aimed to quantify the spatiotemporal trends and geographic clustering of female TC in the Hamadan province, western Iran, from 2010 to 2019.
methodsFemale TC cases from the Hamadan province were obtained from the population-based cancer registry. County-level standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated to adjust for differences in population size, and were smoothed using a hierarchical Bayesian spatial smoothing model that accounts for spatial and temporal dependence. Temporal trends were analyzed using joinpoint regression. Spatiotemporal clusters were identified using space-time scan statistics.
resultsThe incidence of female TC showed an average annual increase of 14.5% (Average annual percent change [AAPC]: 14.5, 95% confidence interval: 4.7 to 25.3;
conclusionThis study revealed significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity in female TC incidence in the Hamadan province. Identification of high-risk clusters provides an evidence base for targeted preventive measures and health resource allocation.
