Anthropometric measures of body fat and obesity-related cancer risk: sex-specific differences in Framingham Offspring Study adults.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
BACKGROUND/
objectiveObesity has been associated with the risk of developing certain cancers. A limited number of studies have examined effects of various anthropometric measures of body composition on cancer risk. The aim of this study was to estimate the sex-specific effects of various anthropometric measures on risk of obesity-related cancers (ObCa). SUBJECTS/
methodsData on body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and hip circumference (HC) among 3818 45-69-year olds in the Framingham Offspring Study were included. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate adjusted risks of 16 obesity-related cancers, with the most common being postmenopausal breast, endometrial, and colon cancers.
resultsObesity as measured by BMI in both men and women was a predictor of ObCa; those in the highest quintile (Q5) of BMI (>30.07 in women; >30.80 kg/m
conclusionsThese results suggest that obesity as measured by BMI is a predictor of obesity-related cancer risk in men and women. They also suggest that waist and hip circumference measures are interrelated and confound the independent effects of each measure. Among men, a large waist size and a small hip size are independent predictors of cancer risk.
