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

backgroundSome epidemiological and experimental studies suggest that olive oil, despite its elevated caloric content, may have protective activity against colon cancer, partially due to its phenolic content. However, little experimental evidence exists to support this claim in vivo. AIM OF THE STUDY: To test the effect of olive oils with different phenolic content in a well-characterized model of colon carcinogenesis, comparing them with corn oil (CO).

methodsF344 rats were fed AIN-76 based diets for the entire experimental period; the diets contained 23% (w/w) of lipids from three different sources: extra-virgin olive oil rich in phenolic compounds (EV), rectified olive oil (ROO) with the same fatty acid composition but devoid of phenolic compounds and CO as a control diet. One week later, rats were induced with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) (150 mg/kg b.w. x 2 times) to measure preneoplastic lesions (aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and mucin depleted foci (MDF)) and tumours in the intestine.

resultsThirteen weeks after DMH, the numbers of ACF and MDF were similar in the different groups (ACF/colon were 344.9 +/- 27.0, 288.6 +/- 28.5 and 289.8 +/- 21.4 in CO, EV and ROO groups, respectively, means +/- SE; MDF/colon were 8.83 +/- 1.2, 8.41 +/- 1.5 and 8.75 +/- 1.6 in CO, EV and ROO groups, respectively, means +/- SE). Thirty-two weeks after DMH, the incidence of tumours (rats with tumours/rats in the group) did not differ among the different groups (20/21, 18/19 and 20/20 in the CO, EV, and ROO groups, respectively). Similarly, the number of tumours/ rat in the colorectum (both adenomas and cancers) was not different in the three different groups (2.33 +/- 0.26, 2.42 +/- 0.41 and 2.25 +/- 0.40 in CO, EV and ROO groups, respectively, means +/- SE).

conclusionsOlive oil, irrespective of its phenolic content, does not affect DMH-induced colon carcinogenesis in F344 rats compared with CO.
