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

Evidence on the association between dietary patterns (DPs) and colorectal cancer (CRC) is inconclusive. Thus, we aimed to evaluate it in an Iranian population. We analyzed data from a multicenter hospital-based case-control study conducted in Iran during 2017-2020. We derived a posteriori DPs using principal component factor analysis, and used reduced rank regression (RRR) to derive a DP high in unhealthy fats. We estimated adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between quartiles of DPs and CRC. False discovery rate (FDR)-corrected p-values were computed. We included 865 CRC cases and 3,204 controls in the study. After FDR correction, the Western-type diet (OR
