Lifestyle-Related Factors and Dietary Components that Affect the Risk of Prostate Cancer in a Brazilian Study Group.

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
backgroundThe incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) is increasing among Brazilian men. There are only a few studies about risk factors for PCa among Brazilian men, and to date, there are no studies about dietary components that affect PCa risk.
methodsA case‒control study was performed on data from 125 PCa patients from a reference center for cancer treatment in Northeast Brazil. Data were obtained from medical records and interviews and compared with 250 age-matched controls. Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (95% CIs) of the variables.
resultsAccording to the regression analysis model, hypertension, family history and ever smoking increased the risk of PCa 2.940 (95% CI: 1.81-4.78), 2.268 (95% CI: 1.31-3.92) and 2.715 (95% CI= 1.67-4.41) times (p< 0.001; p= 0.003; p<0.001), respectively. The consumption of red and processed meat increased the risk of disease by 0.6% (OR= 1.006; 95% CI: 1.00-1.01; p= 0.048) and 7.2% (OR= 1.072; 95% CI: 1.02-1.13; p= 0.012), respectively, for each gram of intake per day. The consumption of cruciferous vegetables reduced the risk by 22.0% for each g intake per day (OR= 0.978; 95% CI: 0.96-1.00; p= 0.052).
conclusionHypertension, family history and smoking increased PCa risk among men in the present study. Additionally, red and processed meat increased the risk of disease, and cruciferous vegetables had a protective effect. The present results indicate that lifestyle-related factors and dietary components affect PCa risk among Brazilian men. Health authorities should include information about these risk and protective factors in their PCa prevention campaigns.
