Acceleration of benzo(a)pyrene-induced colon carcinogenesis by Western diet in a rat model of colon cancer.
Article in Current research in toxicology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortalities in the USA and around 52,550 people were expected to die from this disease by December 2023. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of diet type on benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P]-induced colon cancer in an adult male rat model, the Polyposis In the Rat Colon (PIRC) kindred type. Groups of PIRC rats (n = 10) were fed with AIN-76A regular diet (RD) or Western diet (WD) and received 25, 50 and 100 µg B(a)P/kg body wt. via oral gavage for 60 days. Rats fed diets alone, but no B(a)P, served as controls. After exposure, rats were euthanized; colon and liver samples were analyzed for activation of drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) CYP1A1, CYP1B1, SULT and GST. Plasma and tissue samples were analyzed by reverse phase-HPLC for B(a)P metabolites. In addition to these studies, DNA isolated from colon and liver tissues was analyzed for B(a)P-induced DNA adducts by the
