1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPro-vegetarian (PVG) diets may reduce gastric cancer (GC) risk, but evidence remains limited. We aimed to evaluate the association between three predefined PVG patterns-general (gPVG), healthful (hPVG), and unhealthful (uPVG)-and GC risk stratifying by sex in the context of the Stomach Cancer Pooling (StoP) Project Consortium.

methodsWe analysed data from six case-control studies from the StoP Consortium. The final sample included 1,857 incidents, histologically confirmed GC cases and 5,646 controls. Food intakes were assessed using country-specific food frequency questionnaires, which allowed the estimation of PVG patterns using established scoring methods. Adherence to PVG dietary patterns was classified into quintiles. Logistic mixed models with random intercepts for each study were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsCompared to the lowest quintile, the highest quintile of adherence to gPVG was associated with an OR

conclusionsHigher adherence to gPVG and hPVG dietary patterns is associated with lower GC risk, whereas higher adherence to uPVG is associated with increased risk. The inverse association observed for hPVG pattern and the positive association for uPVG were only observed in women. These differential effects of dietary patterns in men and women deserve to be further investigated.
