Cigarette smoking and long-term incidence of colorectal cancer subclassified by tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells: A prospective cohort study.

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
Evidence indicates that cigarette smoking affects anti-tumor immunity. We tested a hypothesis that the association of smoking with long-term colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence might differ by myeloid cell infiltrates in tumors, which may play roles in cancer immune evasion. We utilized the prospective cohort incident-tumor biobank method on two longitudinal prospective cohort studies, namely the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. To identify myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment, we applied multiplexed immunofluorescence (for ARG1, CD14, CD15, CD33, HLA-DR, and KRT) combined with digital image analysis and machine learning. We examined the association of smoking with long-term incidence of CRC subclassified by myeloid cell densities using the multivariable inverse-probability-weighted duplication-method Cox regression model. During the follow-up of 131,143 cohort participants (3,647,434 person-years), we documented 3092 incident CRC cases, including 854 cases with available data on tissue myeloid cells. The association of pack-years smoked with long-term CRC incidence differed by intraepithelial CD14
