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
Purpose: This study examined the association between serum triglyceride levels and the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) among community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults. Methods: The study included 8,371 adults aged 40~69 years without CRC at baseline who were enrolled in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study and followed biennially for 20 years to ascertain incident CRC cases. Participants were classified into four groups according to baseline triglyceride quartiles (Q1 = 32~99 mg/dL, Q2 = 100~134 mg/dL, Q3 = 135~187 mg/dL, and Q4 = 188~498 mg/dL). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate CRC incidence across quartiles. Results: During the follow-up period, 104 participants (1.24%) developed CRC. The overall incidence rate of CRC was 0.78 per 1,000 person-years, with rates of 0.95, 0.48, 0.70, and 1.01 per 1,000 person-years in Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively. CRC-free survival did not differ significantly among the quartile groups (log-rank χ Conclusion: Serum triglyceride levels were associated with CRC risk in this population. Compared with Q2, CRC risk was elevated among those in both Q1 and Q4, indicating a non-linear relationship between triglyceride levels and CRC incidence. These findings highlight the potential value of preventive strategies tailored to serum triglyceride profiles, including identifying risk groups and improving CRC screening adherence.
