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
Purpose: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. This study was aimed at investigating the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD), Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), and Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diets and the odds of developing breast cancer. Methods: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted with 106 histopathologically confirmed breast cancer cases and 107 age-matched controls. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated 147-item food frequency questionnaire. Adherence scores for the MD, DASH, and MIND diets were calculated and categorized into tertiles. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs), adjusting for age, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, physical activity, education, employment, and family history of cancer. Results: After full adjustment, compared to the lowest tertile, women in the highest tertile of MD, DASH, and MIND diet adherence had a 75% (OR = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.10-0.64), 76% (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.09-0.62), and 72% (OR = 0.28, 95% CI: 0.11-0.75) reduced odds of breast cancer, respectively. All trends were statistically significant. However, stratification by menopausal status revealed no significant associations within pre- or postmenopausal subgroups. Conclusion: Greater adherence to the MD, DASH, and MIND diets is associated with a substantially lower likelihood of breast cancer in Iranian women. These findings highlight the potential of healthy dietary patterns as a modifiable factor for breast cancer prevention in this population.
