Low-carbohydrate diet score and risk of bladder cancer: Findings from a prospective cohort study.
Article in BJUI compass, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: Low carbohydrate diet (LCD), a summary score considering sources of all macronutrients in a dietary pattern, is defined by lower intakes of carbohydrates and higher intakes of proteins and fats. Research on the role of LCD and risk of bladder cancer is scare. We, therefore, prospectively examined the association between LCS scores and bladder cancer risk. Patients and Methods: We used data from the Singapore Chinese Health Study, a prospective cohort study of 63 275 participants aged 45-74 living in Singapore who were recruited during 1993-1998 period. LCD scores were derived from the semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire at baseline. Bladder cancer cases were identified through record linkage with the Singapore cancer registry. Cox proportional hazard regression method was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for bladder cancer in relation with LCD scores. Results: After 17.6 years of follow-up with 819 573 person-years, 250 participants developed bladder cancer. We found a statistically significant, positive association for bladder cancer risk with increasing level of animal-based LCD (HR Conclusion: In summary, we showed that an LCD diet with fat and protein from animal-based food was associated with increased risk while an LCD diet with fat and protein derived mainly from plant-based food was not associated with bladder cancer risk. Our findings have implications for diet modifications in the prevention and control program of bladder cancer.
