The sentences
The positive association for red meat intake and colorectal cancer was due more to cancer of the rectum ( n = 1,418; HR = 1.45; 95% CI = 1.20–1.75; p for trend < 0.001) than the colon ( n = 3,689; HR = 1.17; 95% CI = 1.05–1.31; p for trend < 0.001), and this difference in risk was marginally statistically significant ( p for heterogeneity = 0.06).
