Dairy Intake and Risk of Incident Inflammatory Bowel Disease in US Men and Women.
Article in Clinical and translational gastroenterology, 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
introductionDairy consumption has been linked to the development of autoimmune diseases. We aimed to examine the association between dairy intake and risk of incident inflammatory bowel disease.
methodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study of 197,763 participants without a baseline diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in 1986 in Nurses' Health Study, 1991 in Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII), and 1986 in Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Data on dairy intake were collected every 2-4 years using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and modeled according to quintiles for total intake and quartiles for components of dairy. We used Cox proportional hazard modeling to estimate adjusted hazard ratios and 95% CIs.
resultsThrough the end of follow-up in 2016 in Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study, and 2017 in Nurses' Health Study II, we documented 347 Crohn's disease cases and 428 cases of ulcerative colitis (UC). In our primary analysis, we observed an inverse association between baseline dairy intake (P trend = 0.04) and risk of UC (adjusted hazard ratio of 0.72 [95% CI 0.52-1.00 comparing extremes of quintiles]). Among dairy components, baseline yogurt consumption (hazard ratio = 0.70; 95%CI 0.5-0.99; P trend = 0.05) was most strongly associated with decreased risk of UC. There was no consistent association between dairy intake and risk of Crohn's disease. DISCUSSION: In 3 large prospective cohort studies, we observed a suggestive inverse association between baseline dairy intake, particularly from yogurt, and risk of UC. Future studies are needed to confirm these results.
