Description

The dataset reports the summarized dose-response results from twelve studies on the relation between red meat consumption and bladder cancer.

Format

id	id of the studies included in the analysis.
author	names of the first author.
year	year of publication.
type	code for study design.

n	total number of subjects (type = "ci" or "cc") or person-years (type = "ir") for each exposure level.
rr	adjusted risk estimates.
lb	lower bound for the confidence limits of the adjusted risk estimates.
ub	upper bound for the confidence limits of the adjusted risk estimates.
