Dairy Intake and All-Cause, Cancer, and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Risk in A Large Japanese Population: A 12-Year Follow-Up of the J-MICC 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
aimWe examined the association between dairy intake and all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular disease mortality in a cohort of the general population followed up for 12 years across Japan.
methodsWe conducted a longitudinal cohort study of 79,715 participants from the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort study (57.2% women, mean age 54.7 years old). The amount of dairy (milk and yogurt) intake was determined using a validated short-food frequency questionnaire. The hazard ratio for mortality according to sex-specific tertile of dairy intake was calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression models with adjustment for potential confounding factors and dietary factors by sex.
resultsDuring the follow-up period (932,738 person-years), 3,723 participants died, including 2,088 cancer and 530 cardiovascular disease deaths. The highest tertile of total dairy intake (versus the lowest tertile) was associated with a 19% lower all-cause mortality risk (hazard ratio=0.81, 95% confidence interval: 0.70-0.92; P for trend=0.001) in women. Similarly, we observed inverse associations between milk intake and all-cause and cancer mortality risk in women, yogurt intake and cardiovascular disease risk in women, and yogurt intake and all-cause mortality risk in both sexes.
conclusionA higher total dairy and milk intakes in women and yogurt intake in both sexes were associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality in the general population across Japan during the 12-year follow-up period.
