Association between colorectal cancer and zolpidem use in a case-control study.

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
This study aimed to examine the association between colorectal cancer and zolpidem use in Taiwan.A case-control study was conducted using the database of Taiwan National Health Insurance Program from 2000 to 2013. Participants aged 20 to 84 years with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer were selected as the cases. Sex-matched and age-matched participants without colorectal cancer were randomly selected as the matched controls. The odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for colorectal cancer associated with zolpidem use were calculated by the multivariable logistic regression model.There were 4912 cases with colorectal cancer and 4912 matched controls without colorectal cancer. The mean age was 63 years and 58% were male participants. After adjustment for co-variables, the multivariable logistic regression model disclosed that there was no statistical association between colorectal cancer and zolpidem use (adjusted OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.95-1.15).No statistical association can be detected between colorectal cancer and zolpidem use in Taiwan.
