Dietary fish oil reduces DNA adduct formation while estradiol upregulates apoptosis in response to DNA damage in the rat colon.

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
backgroundDietary fish oil is associated with a decrease in colon cancer incidence: in part through a reduction in DNA adduct formation and an induction of colonocyte apoptosis. Estradiol (E(2)) has also been demonstrated to be protective against colon cancer incidence. Studies evaluating fish oil diets and DNA adduct formation in the colon have been conducted in male models without regard to possible interactions with E(2).
aimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of E(2) and fish oil both together and separately in female rats at the point of DNA damage.
methodsOvariectomized female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either a corn oil or fish oil diet in the presence or absence of E(2) for two weeks prior to being sacrificed at four time points following injection with azoxymethane. O(6)-methyldeoxyguanosine (O(6)-MedG) DNA adducts and apoptosis were examined using immunohistochemistry.
resultsDietary fish oil reduced DNA adduct formation independent of the presence of E(2) at both 9 and 12 h post carcinogen. E(2) itself did not suppress adduct formation. E(2) significantly induced apoptosis 12 h after carcinogen independent of diet, primarily in the luminal third of the crypts. Fish oil was not associated with increased colonocyte apoptosis.
conclusionsThese data demonstrate that fish oil is protective against DNA damage in the colon regardless of gender through reduction of O(6)-MedG adduct formation. Additionally, E(2) is capable of inducing apoptosis directly at the point of DNA damage.
