Main and interactive effects of physical activity, fitness and body mass in the prevention of cancer from the Copenhagen Male Study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Little knowledge exists about the role of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or its interaction with excess adiposity determined by body mass index (BMI) in cancer prevention. A total of 5,128 middle-aged men, without a history of cancer at baseline in 1970-71, were examined for subsequent incidence and mortality of several cancer types. Participants' data were linked with cancer registration and mortality data to March 2017. During 47 years of follow-up, a total of 1,920 incident cases and 1,638 cancer-related deaths were ascertained. BMI, particularly obesity, was associated with (i) incidence and (ii) mortality from respiratory/thoracic cancers; and (iii) all cancer-cause mortality. The respective adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were: (i) 0.51 (95%CI:0.32-0.79), (ii) 0.48 (95%CI:0.30-0.75) and (iii) 0.73 (95%CI:0.59-0.89) when compared obese men (BMI ≥30 kg/m
