Global patterns and trends in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality
Melina Arnold,Mónica S. Sierra,Mathieu Laversanne,Isabelle Soerjomataram,Ahmedin Jemal,Freddie Bray +5 more
TL;DR: Pattern and trends in CRC incidence and mortality correlate with present human development levels and their incremental changes might reflect the adoption of more western lifestyles, pointing towards widening disparities and an increasing burden in countries in transition.

Epidemiology of colorectal cancer: incidence, mortality, survival, and risk factors
TL;DR: According to GLOBOCAN 2018 data, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most deadly and fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world.

Alcohol consumption and site-specific cancer risk: a comprehensive dose-response meta-analysis
Vincenzo Bagnardi,Matteo Rota,Edoardo Botteri,Irene Tramacere,Farhad Islami,Veronika Fedirko,Lorenza Scotti,Mazda Jenab,Federica Turati,Elena Pasquali,Claudio Pelucchi,Carlotta Galeone,R Bellocco,Eva Negri,Giovanni Corrao,Paolo Boffetta,C. La Vecchia +16 more
TL;DR: Alcohol increases risk of cancer of oral cavity and pharynx, oesophagus, colorectum, liver, larynx and female breast, and there is accumulating evidence that alcohol drinking is associated with some other cancers such as pancreas and prostate cancer and melanoma.

Global Burden of 5 Major Types of Gastrointestinal Cancer
Melina Arnold,Christian C. Abnet,Rachel E. Neale,Jérôme Vignat,Edward Giovannucci,Katherine A. McGlynn,Freddie Bray +6 more
TL;DR: There was a uniform decrease in gastric cancer incidence but an increasing incidence of colorectal cancer in formerly low-incidence regions over the studied time period, and slight increases in incidence of liver and pancreatic cancer in some high-income regions.

Meta-analyses of Colorectal Cancer Risk Factors
Constance M. Johnson,Caimiao Wei,Joe Ensor,Derek J. Smolenski,Christopher I. Amos,Bernard Levin,Donald A. Berry +6 more
TL;DR: Inflammatory bowel disease and history of CRC in first-degree relatives are associated with much higher risk of CRC and a comprehensive risk modeling strategy that incorporates multiple effects to predict an individual’s risk of developing CRC is developed.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test
TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis
TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.

TL;DR: A checklist contains specifications for reporting of meta-analyses of observational studies in epidemiology, including background, search strategy, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion should improve the usefulness ofMeta-an analyses for authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and decision makers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operating characteristics of a rank correlation test for publication bias.
TL;DR: In this paper, an adjusted rank correlation test is proposed as a technique for identifying publication bias in a meta-analysis, and its operating characteristics are evaluated via simulations, and the test statistic is a direct statistical analogue of the popular funnel-graph.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rank-based data augmentation technique is proposed for estimating the number of missing studies that might exist in a meta-analysis and the effect that these studies might have had on its outcome.
