Associations between the consumption of red meat and processed meat and the incidence of colorectal cancer in Asia: a meta-analysis.

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: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the consumption of red meat and processed meat and the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Asia and provide a scientific basis for reducing the incidence of CRC. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and other databases were searched electronically to collect studies on the correlation between the consumption of red meat and processed meat and the incidence of CRC in Asia. After the quality evaluation of the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, meta-analyses of the selected studies were performed using RevMan 5.4.1. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were combined, and the heterogeneity among the included studies was analyzed via sensitivity analysis. Results: Twelve articles were included, which involved 13,292 and 12,544 cases in the case and control groups, respectively. The results of the meta-analysis revealed that in the study of the correlation between the consumption of red meat and the incidence of colon cancer, the combined OR was 2.14 ( Conclusion: The results suggest that red meat is a risk factor for the incidence of colon, colorectal, and rectal cancers. However, no significant correlation was found between the consumption of processed meat and the incidence of CRC.
