Urbanization compound pathways of global lung cancer incidence risk under proximal and distal interactions.
Article in iScience, 2026. 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
Lung cancer burden varies across countries undergoing different stages of urbanization, but the interacting roles of behavioral and macro-environmental factors remain difficult to quantify. Using GBD 2021 and World Bank data from 187 countries between 1991 and 2021, we combined GWRF-SHAP to examine nonlinear and spatially heterogeneous interactions between urbanization, proximal behavioral factors, and distal socio-environmental contexts. Lung cancer incidence shifted from traditionally developed regions toward rapidly urbanizing areas. Urbanization-occupational exposure and urbanization-forest cover emerged as the dominant interaction pathways, ranking first in 103 and 33 countries, respectively. Air pollution tended to amplify risk in rapidly urbanizing countries, whereas forest-related interactions generally showed buffering patterns with regional exceptions. Consequently, when formulating geographically differentiated lung cancer prevention strategies, it is essential to consider the combined impact of occupational health management, pollution control, the transition to clean energy, and environmental planning.
