Cancer prevention at the microscopic level with the potent power of micronutrients.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitating ongoing exploration of effective prevention strategies. Micronutrients, vital for maintaining cellular health, offer promising avenues for cancer prevention. This review delineates the critical roles of micronutrients in cancer prevention, elucidating their mechanisms at the cellular level. Focusing on essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamins A, C, D, E, selenium, and zinc, we explore their profound effects on fundamental cellular processes such as DNA repair, oxidative stress regulation, cellular proliferation, and immune surveillance. These nutrients, characterized by their antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and immune-enhancing properties, have shown potential in reducing the risk of cancer. The article synthesizes outcomes from a broad spectrum of clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and systematic reviews to evaluate the efficacy of micronutrients in thwarting cancer development. This critical analysis explores significant trials, addresses controversies in nutrient efficacy, and highlights the implications for clinical practice and public health policy. The review underscores the importance of integrating nutritional strategies into comprehensive cancer prevention frameworks and suggests directions for future research to optimize the preventive potentials of micronutrients.
