The Incidence of Postmenopausal Breast Cancer in Relation to Occupational Exposure to Textile Fibers and Dusts in Montreal, Canada, 2008-2011.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to estimate the associations between occupational exposure to textile fibers/dusts and incidence of postmenopausal invasive breast cancer.
methodsA population-based case-control study conducted in Montreal (2008-2011) identified hospital cases (N = 695) and population controls (N = 608) from the electoral list. Occupational hygienists examined participants' occupations and tasks, and attributed exposures to several textile fibers. For all tumors and according to biomolecular subtypes, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated using logistic regression models with different exposure indices, adjusting for potential confounders.
resultsEver exposure to cotton dust was associated with an increased risk (OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 0.95-2.16) as was ever exposure to treated textile fibers before age 36 years and/or before first full-term pregnancy (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 0.97-2.01).
conclusionsThese suggestive associations and the rapid evolution of textile fibers treatment warrant additional scrutiny, especially among younger women.
