Dietary patterns and thyroid cancer risk: a population-based 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
purposeThyroid cancer (TC) incidence has increased greatly during the past decades with a few established risk factors, while the relationship between dietary factors and TC remains unclear. Limited literature has investigated the association with inconsistent findings.
methodsWe examined the association between dietary pattern and risk of TC in a population based case-control study conducted in Connecticut (2010-2011). Our study population included 390 historically confirmed incident TC cases and 436 population-based controls who completed baseline dietary history questionnaires (DHQ). We identified 3 distinct dietary patterns ("Starchy Foods and Desserts", "Fruits and Vegetables", "High Protein and Fat") through principal components analysis. Multivariate unconditional logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between each dietary pattern and risk of TC, controlling for potential confounders.
resultsA diet rich in fruits and vegetables was significantly associated with a reduced risk of overall TC (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.39, 0.92;
conclusionsOur study found a significant negative association between diet patterns rich in fruits and vegetables and TC risk, especially among women aged 50 years or older. While high in starchy foods and desserts may be positively and negatively associated with TC risk among men and women respectively, these results require confirmation in other populations.
