Obesity and Cancer Risk in White and Black Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00959270 (Pennington Center Longitudinal), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
objectiveAnthropometric measures of obesity, including BMI and waist circumference (WC), do not quantify excess adiposity and metabolic abnormalities consistently across racial populations. This study tested the hypothesis that participant race modifies the association of anthropometric measures of obesity and cancer risk.
methodsThis prospective cohort (The Pennington Center Longitudinal Study) included 18,296 adults, 6,405 (35.0%) male sex and 6,273 (34.3%) Black race. The primary exposures were BMI (weight in kilograms/height in meters squared) and WC (centimeters). The primary end point was the time from study enrollment to diagnosis of histologically confirmed invasive cancer.
resultsDuring a median follow-up of 14.0 years (interquartile range: 9.8-19.0 years), invasive cancer occurred in 1,350 participants. Among men, race modified the association of BMI (P
conclusionsIn this diverse cohort of adults, participant race and sex modified the prognostic associations of anthropometric measures of obesity and cancer risk.
