α-tocopherol/Finding

One finding, on its own

A single claim from the graph, with the evidence strength computed from its study, the sentence it was drawn from, and the paper. This address does not change.

  • α-tocopherol — decreases pancreatic cancer incidence

    Evidence strength: very limited.Finding
    “Higher alpha-tocopherol concentrations were associated with lower pancreatic cancer risk (highest compared with lowest quintile, HR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.34, 0.80; P for trend = 0.03; continuous HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.84, 0.99).”
