1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Advanced Glycation End (AGE) Product is produced by atypical metabolism when food is cooked at high temperatures in a short time, such as roasted foods, or when chemicals are added as in processed foods. Research on the association between AGE and breast cancer (BC) has been inconclusive. Methods: This multicenter case-control study investigated the relationship between serum AGE (sAGE), tissue AGE (tAGE), and dietary AGE (dAGE) and BC, considering physical activity (PA). The study included 44 hormone receptor-positive premenopausal BC patients and 42 controls. Data on diet and PA were collected using validated Persian questionnaires. sAGE and tAGE were measured using blood and tissue samples. Results: The dAGE was 16,104.98 ± 6542.04 and 15,084.53 ± 5827.69 kilo-units/day, while PA was significantly lower in cases than controls (773.64 ± 829.92 vs. 1920.95 ± 2999.91 MET-minutes/week, Conclusion: We found no association between dAGE and BC or dAGE and sAGE or tAGE. PA was less in the BC group but unrelated to sAGE and dAGE. As we accounted for all relevant variables, our negative findings provide strong evidence against an association between AGEs in diet, PA, and BC.
