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

A variety of dietary factors have been implicated as agents that can modulate the development of malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly colorectal cancer. The effects of fat, red meat, fruits, vegetables, and alcohol on colorectal carcinogenesis have been examined extensively and appear to play substantial roles. Although fiber may play a protective role, recent studies raise the question of whether the protection is conveyed by other components in fiber-laden foods. Folate, selenium, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids have emerged as factors more recently but may be equally important agents in nutritional chemoprevention, whereas the role of antioxidant vitamins is less certain. Until more firm data are available, the dietary recommendations provided by the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute are appropriate for use in counseling patients on this issue.
