1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionA diet rich in fruits, vegetables, coffee, and tea, limited red meat, and moderate alcohol intake may reduce the risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The anti-inflammatory potential of diet has been proposed as a mechanism influencing cancer risk. This study assessed the association between an anti-inflammatory diet and RCC risk. METHODOLOGY: Data from two Swedish cohorts, the Swedish-Mammography-Cohort and the Cohort-of-Swedish-Men, were analysed. Dietary habits were assessed using a 96-item food frequency questionnaire. The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Index (AIDI), composed of 16 food groups (11 anti-inflammatory and 5 pro-inflammatory), was used to score dietary patterns. RCC cases were identified from the Swedish Cancer Register using ICD-10 codes, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios based on AIDI quartiles.

resultsAmong 71,421 participants, 431 RCC cases were identified during a 19.7-year follow-up. Higher AIDI scores were associated with a lower RCC risk (HR for Q4 vs. Q1: 0.68, CI: 0.52-0.89). In sex-stratified analyses (p-for heterogeneity = 0.006), the association was stronger in among women (HR: 0.47, CI: 0.30-0.75) but less clear in among men (HR: 0.83, CI: 0.63-1.24).

conclusionThese data suggest that adherence to an anti-inflammatory diet may confer a reduced risk for RCC, especially among women.
