Global, regional, and national burden of disease associated with low-fiber dietary patterns for colorectal cancer from 1990 to 2021: A systematic analysis for the global burden of disease 2021.

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
Low-fiber diets are a known risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the burden of CRC associated with low-fiber intake across regions and age groups remains unclear. This study assesses the global, regional, and national burden of CRC due to low-fiber diets from 1990 to 2021. Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, we applied comparative risk models to estimate CRC mortality and disability-adjusted life years associated with low-fiber diets across regions, age groups, and countries. The analysis showed significant disparities in CRC burden due to low-fiber diets. Low- and middle-income regions, particularly populations over 50 years old, bore the highest burden. The global burden has increased over time, particularly in regions undergoing dietary transitions. Targeted dietary interventions to increase fiber intake are essential to reduce the global CRC burden. Policymakers should focus on high-risk regions and populations to mitigate this preventable health issue.
