Diet and Risk of Cholecystectomy: A Prospective Study Based on the French E3N Cohort.

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
objectivesThis study aimed to examine the relationship between diet and cholecystectomy risk, using three approaches, in a large French cohort.
methodsIn a prospective cohort study in French women who completed a food-frequency questionnaire at baseline, we analyzed diet with three approaches: food groups, dietary patterns obtained by factor analysis, and the Mediterranean diet score. The primary outcome was cholecystectomy. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to assess the relationship between diet and cholecystectomy risk, adjusting for the main potential confounders.
resultsDuring 1,033,955 person years of follow-up, we identified 2,778 incident cases of cholecystectomy. Higher intakes of legumes, fruit, vegetable oil, and wholemeal bread were associated with decreased cholecystectomy risk. Two dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis: "Western" (essentially processed meat, pizza, pies, high-alcohol beverages, French fries, sandwiches…) and "Mediterranean" (essentially fruits, vegetables, seafood, and olive oil). The "Mediterranean" pattern was inversely associated with cholecystectomy risk in the subgroup of postmenopausal women who ever used menopausal hormone therapy (hazard ratio for quartile 4 vs. 1=0.79, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.65-0.95; P for linear trend=0.008). High adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with decreased risk of cholecystectomy (hazard ratio for a 6-9 score vs. 0-3=0.89, 95% CI: 0.80-0.99; P for linear trend=0.02).
conclusionsAdherence to a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, legumes, and olive oil was associated with a reduction in cholecystectomy risk in French women. Further studies in different settings are requested.
