Associations between fruit and vegetable consumption and HCC occurrence in patients with cirrhosis.

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
Background & Aims: Prospective studies are needed to increase knowledge of fruit and vegetable consumption effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk. This study aimed to investigate the association between fruit and vegetable consumption and incident HCC in French patients with cirrhosis. Methods: This study used data from a French prospective observational cohort nested in two national prospective cohorts of patients with histologically proven compensated alcohol-related or viral cirrhosis. Fruit and vegetable consumption was assessed by a trained dietitian using a semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire validated in French and analyzed as binary exposure according to predefined thresholds (≥240 g/day for fruit or vegetables and ≥400 g/day for fruit and vegetables combined). Incident HCC was primary outcome. Propensity scores were used in Poisson regression models. Results: Among 179 patients analyzed, 20 HCC were diagnosed during follow-up (median 7.3 [Q1-Q3: 4.1-8.0] years). A significant association was observed between HCC incidence and vegetable consumption ≥240 g/day (adjusted relative risk [RR] 0.35, 95%CI [0.13; 0.98], Conclusions: This longitudinal study documented insufficient fruit and/or vegetable consumption in 42.5% of patients with cirrhosis and a 65% reduction of HCC incidence in those with vegetable consumption ≥240 g/day. Reproduction of results in a larger sample are necessary to explore the potential of fruit and vegetables as protective factors in HCC. Impact and implications: The association between fruit and vegetable consumption and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is poorly documented in the population of patients with cirrhosis, while such knowledge is crucial for adapting HCC prevention messages. Our study shows 57.5% of patients with cirrhosis reported consuming fruit and/or vegetables at or above the French and WHO threshold of 400 g/day, with a higher proportion of patients consuming at least 240 g/day of vegetables compared with those consuming at least 240 g/day of fruit (47.5%
