Nuts and legumes consumption and risk of colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of epidemiology, 2022. 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
Several case-control and prospective cohort studies have examined the association between the consumption of nuts and legumes and the risk of colorectal cancer. For the quantitative assessment of this association, we conducted a meta-analysis of observational studies. We searched PubMed and Web of Science databases along with hand searches for eligible studies published up to January 2022. A total of 13 studies (8 cohort studies and 5 case-control studies) on nuts consumption and 29 studies (16 cohort studies and 13 case-control studies) on legumes consumption were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled relative risks (RRs) of colorectal cancer for the highest versus lowest categories of nuts consumption and legumes consumption were 0.84 (95% CI: 0.71-0.99) and 0.90 (95% CI: 0.83-0.98), respectively. Based on the dose-response analysis, a 28 g/day (1 serving/day) increment of nut consumption was associated with a 33% lower risk of colorectal cancer, and 100 g/day (1 serving/day) increment of legumes consumption was associated with a 21% lower risk of colorectal cancer. By geographic region for nuts consumption, however, the inverse association for the highest versus lowest categories was only observed in Asia (RR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.29-0.68) from 3 studies, and no association was found in America (RR = 1.01; 95% CI: 0.92-1.11) (P
