Fatty acid consumption and risk of fracture in the Women's Health Initiative.
Trial report in The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundFatty acids (FAs) may be important dietary components that modulate osteoporotic fracture risk.
objectiveThe objective was to examine FA intake in relation to osteoporotic fractures.
designThe participants were postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative (n = 137,486). Total fractures were identified by self-report; hip fractures were confirmed by medical record review. FA intake was estimated from baseline food-frequency questionnaires and standardized to total caloric intake. No data on omega-3 (n-3) FA supplements were available. Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to estimate risk of fracture.
resultsHigher saturated FA consumption was associated with higher hip fracture risk [quartile 4 multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.31; 95% CI: 1.11, 1.55; P for trend = 0.001]. Lower total fracture risk was associated with a higher monounsaturated FA intake (quartile 3 HR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.89, 0.98; P for trend = 0.050) and polyunsaturated FA intake (quartile 4 HR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.90, 0.99; P for trend = 0.019). Unexpectedly, higher consumption of marine n-3 FAs was associated with greater total fracture risk (quartile 4 HR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.12; P for trend = 0.010), whereas a higher n-6 FA intake was associated with a lower total fracture risk (quartile 4 HR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.89, 0.98; P for trend 0.009).
conclusionsThese results suggest that saturated FA intake may significantly increase hip fracture risk, whereas monounsaturated and polyunsaturated FA intakes may decrease total fracture risk. In postmenopausal women with a low intake of marine n-3 FAs, a higher intake of n-6 FAs may modestly decrease total fracture risk. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00000611.
