Modifiable risk factors of prostate cancer: Insights from a hospital-based study.
Article in Oncoscience, 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
introductionProstate Cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer among men worldwide. The prevalence of Prostate cancer is much lower in India and it is likely that the incidence of prostate cancer will show an increase in the future. Modifiable habits like smoking, tobacco chewing, alcohol consumption and others have shown to be associated with Prostate Cancer. All these variables show conflicting results in various studies. Hence more research on the various determinants of Prostate Cancer for the Indian population will help in reducing the burden of this disease through scientific and empirical approach. The present study aims to study association of various modifiable risk factors with Prostate Cancer and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
methods72 histologically proven prostate 'Cancer Cases' and 132 'BPH controls' were included for the study after obtaining their Informed Consent. This was confirmed by performing the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen Test), DRE (Digital Rectal Examination) test and histopathological investigations. Odds ratio was obtained to study the association of the risk factors.
resultsOur study revealed that Modifiable risk factors associated with decreased risk of Prostate cancer are Coffee intake and meat with an odds ratio of 0.355 (95% CI 0.175 to 0.72,
conclusionsThe present study concludes that an increased intake of coffee and meat may be linked to a reduced risk of developing prostate cancer.
