Associations between vitamins intake and risk of cancer in United States adults: 2003 to 2016 national health and nutrition examination survey.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. 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
Introduction: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a cross-sectional survey that gathered information about people's health and nutrition. The aim of this study is to investigate potential associations between vitamin intake and cancer risk using this database. Methods: The NHANES data set encompassed a wide range of variables, including vitamins, cancer, and others. Logistic regression models, restricted cubic splines (RCS) and subgroup analysis were used to test the potential link between vitamin consumption and cancer risk. Results: In total, 29, 138 individuals were included in this study, while 2,924 of them had a diagnosis of cancer. The odds of developing cancer were reduced for persons consuming the highest quartile of dietary niacin compared to those consuming the lowest quartile [odds ratio (OR) = 0.78, 95% confidence range = 0.65, 0.95, Conclusion: Vitamin A intake is positively correlated with the occurrence of tumors, while niacin intake is negatively correlated with the incidence of tumors. Further longitudinal studies are needed to verify these findings.
