OR, OR; RR, relative risk; CI, CI; AC, adenocarcinoma; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma; AEG, adenocarcinomas of oesophagogastric junction, and HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma. *During data analysis using Stata se version 16.1 statistical software, the lower limit of the 95 % CIs of 0·0 that were observed in both men and women by Khan et al.
