Vitamin intake and colorectal cancer incidence and mortality: evidence from a large prospective cohort.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that vitamin intake may be associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, yet prospective studies on CRC incidence and mortality remain limited. We therefore investigated the associations between vitamin intake and CRC incidence and mortality in a large cohort of US adults. Methods: We included 101,692 participants from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial. Vitamin intake (including dietary and supplement sources) was assessed using the Dietary History Questionnaire based on the USDA 1994-1996 survey and the University of Minnesota Nutrition Data System for Research. Prospective associations with CRC incidence and mortality were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Restricted cubic spline regression was applied to evaluate potential nonlinear relationships. Subgroup analyses were conducted to explore potential effect modifiers of CRC incidence and mortality. Results: During 896,655 person-years of follow-up (mean 8.82 years), 1,085 participants were diagnosed with CRC, and 529 CRC deaths occurred during 1,533,506 person-years of follow-up (mean 15.08 years). In fully adjusted models, higher intakes of vitamin A (HR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.60-0.93; Conclusion: In conclusion, higher intake of vitamins A, B6, C, D, and E is associated with an decreased risk of CRC incidence and mortality. Appropriate vitamin intake may represent a modifiable factor for the primary prevention of CRC.
