Volcano plot of estimates and q values for 92 foods and nutrients in relation to breast cancer risk, for the nutrient-wide association study run separately by menopausal status at baseline in the EPIC study. The y-axis is the negative log₁₀ transformation of the estimated q value, and the x axis is the estimated log hazard ratio for a one standard deviation increment in intake. The horizontal line indicates the false discovery rate threshold of 0.05. Estimates are from Cox regression models stratified by age at recruitment and study centre and adjusted for energy intake, history of diabetes, educational attainment, smoking status, BMI, physical activity, age at menarche, and the interaction of parous (yes/no) and age at first pregnancy. Variables that met the FDR threshold are labelled
