Avocados: A Recipe for Good Guacamole or Lower Cancer Risk?
Article in Cancer prevention research (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Diet plays a role in modifying cancer risk. This study from Ericsson and colleagues provides new evidence suggesting that avocado intake could aid in cancer prevention. However, these effects were observed only in men, pointing to intriguing key differences by sex. Also, associations were only seen for some (colorectal, lung, and bladder cancers), but not all cancer types. Still, the number of avocado servings and ways to eat avocado to obtain these benefits remain to be determined. This brief commentary discusses the study and provides an opinion on the proposed role of avocados in reducing cancer risk. See related article by Ericsson et al., p. 211.
