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
backgroundRacial and ethnic minority patients with colorectal cancer are underrepresented in studies on health behavior and mortality.
methodsWe examined the association between postdiagnosis health behavior and mortality in the Multiethnic Cohort, a diverse group of 215,000 participants from Hawaii and Los Angeles (recruited 1993-1996). Follow-up was through December 31, 2019. Postdiagnosis health behavior was assessed using a modified World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) score (excluding ultraprocessed foods). The primary outcome was overall mortality, and the secondary outcome was colorectal cancer-specific mortality.
resultsAmong 1,079 eligible participants, 489 (45.3%) were women and 850 (78.8%) self-identified as racially/ethnically minoritized people. Over a median follow-up of 12.2 years, there were 613 all-cause deaths and 105 colorectal cancer-related deaths. The median time from diagnosis to questionnaire completion was 5 years (IQR: 2-8). Higher WCRF/AICR scores (4.5-7) were associated with lower risk of overall mortality compared with lower scores [≤2.25; HR = 0.63; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.45-0.87]. Risk of colorectal cancer-specific mortality was also lower but not statistically significant. Among individual health behaviors, physical activity was associated with lower risk of all-cause and colorectal cancer-specific mortality (reference: <75 minutes/week), with HRs of 0.59 (95% CI, 0.43-0.81) for 75 to <150 minutes/week and 0.51 (95% CI, 0.41-0.64) for ≥150 minutes/week.
conclusionsHigher adherence to WCRF/AICR guidelines, particularly engaging in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, was associated with lower risk of mortality in long-term colorectal cancer survivors. IMPACT: These findings support the generalizability of prior studies examining adherence to WCRF/AICR guidelines to a broader group of patients with colorectal cancer.
