Beliefs about cancer and diet among those considering genetic testing for colon cancer.
Article in Journal of nutrition education and behavior. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo assess beliefs about the role of diet in cancer prevention among individuals considering genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome.
designFamily-centered, cascade recruitment; baseline assessment of a longitudinal study.
settingClinical research setting.
participantsParticipants were 390 persons, ages 18 and older, including persons with a Lynch Syndrome-associated cancer and suspected of carrying a disease causing mutation, and relatives at risk for inheriting a previously identified mutation.
main outcome measuresAssess clustering of beliefs about the role of diet in cancer prevention and predictors of class membership. ANALYSIS: Confirmatory factor analysis; 2-class factor mixture model with binary indicators; multilevel regression analyses, individuals nested within families.
resultsWomen endorsed a relationship between diet and cancer prevention more often than men (P < .01). A 2-class model was used where Class 1 indicated less likely to link cancer to diet, and Class 2 indicated more likely. Factors associated with increased odds of membership in Class 1 expressed belief that nothing can prevent cancer (P < .01) and fate attribution (P < .01); Class 2 mentioned personal cancer history (P < .05) and genetic knowledge (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Identifying factors associated with a belief in cancer prevention through dietary behaviors can inform targeted interventions.
