Sex as an effect modifier in the association between alcohol intake and gastric cancer risk.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe results of previous meta-analyses evaluating the association between the alcohol intake and gastric cancer risk have reported that a statistical significance only for men.
aimTo investigate the different association between alcohol intake and gastric cancer risk between men and women.
methodsThe selection criteria included a prospective cohort study for evaluating alcohol intake and gastric cancer risk, with relative risks adjusted for potential confounders. Adjusted relative risk (RR) for the potential confounders and its 95% confidence interval (CI) in the highest
resultsA meta-analysis of all 27 cohorts showed that alcohol intake increased the risk of gastric cancer (summary RR = 1.13, 95%CI: 1.04-1.23,
conclusionThe present review suggests that alcohol consumption increases the risk of gastric cancer in men. These findings showed that the sex variable in the association between alcohol intake and gastric cancer risk seemed to be an effect modifier with an interaction term. It is necessary to re-estimate follow-up outcomes after stratifying for sex.
