Dietary intake of vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6, and the risk of gastric cancer: pooled analyses within the Stomach cancer Pooling (Stop) project.
Article in European journal of 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
backgroundDisentangling the role of micronutrients in gastric cancer (GC) is challenging and results are inconsistent to date. We investigated associations of dietary intake of B vitamins with GC in a pooled analysis of international studies.
methodsWe included orifinal data from 13 case-control studies of GC from the Stomach Cancer Pooling Project. Data were harmonized and study-specific quartiles of dietary intake of the B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin) and B6 (pyridoxine) were created. We calculated odds ratios (OR) of associations between each B vitamin with GC and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) through logistic regression models adjusted for major risk factors. We then pooled study-specific ORs using random effect meta-analysis. Stratified analyses were conducted by sex, histologic type and anatomical site. Secondary analyses were further adjusted for Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, alcohol, meat and vegetables and fruit intake.
resultsThe study population included 5252 GC cases and 11,397 controls. We observed the following associations for one-quartile increase of dietary vitamin intake: B1, OR = 0.93 (95% CI = 0.88-0.97); B2, OR=0.97 (95% CI = 0.93-1.02); B3, OR = 0.95 (95% CI = 0.90-1.00); B6, OR = 0.86 (95% CI = 0.82-0.91); we observed an interaction between B1 and sex, with beneficil effect in men for the highest quartile of intake (p = 0.009). Main results were confirmed when further adjusting for Hp. When accounting for alcohol, meat and vegetables and fruit intakes, the associations were weakened or no more apparent. No heterogeneity was found between cardia and non-cardia GC; B2 was directly associated with diffuse but not intestinal GC (p = 0.03).
conclusionsDietary intake of B1 and B6 vitamins might reduce the risk of GC. Studies with homogeneous method of micronutrients assessment and adjustments are needed to confirm our results.
